Renowned plasma scientist urges researchers and institutions to focus on scalable applications of plasma-based technologies ...

Scientists have become interested in energy enclosed at 100,000,000 ºC in the fourth state of matter, plasma, with the ...

Everyone is familiar with three of the traditional states of matter (liquid, gas and solid) but the fourth fundamental state is one that is less well known, which seems ridiculous as it is the most ...

Supermassive black holes have been known to belch gigantic beams of plasma into space – and now scientists have managed to recreate these fireballs in a lab at CERN. Although black holes are famous ...

A breakthrough experiment revealed how plasma turbulence spreads heat inside fusion reactors, solving a decades-old problem ...

A team of scientists has an unusual explanation for how and when dark matter — the invisible, mysterious stuff that’s theorized to make up most of the matter in the universe — was formed. The theory ...

In September, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was being tuned to enable it to study proton-lead nucleus collisions for a data run next year. Eventually it ran and data was collected on the collisions ...

Researchers have produced quark-gluon plasma -- a state of matter thought to have existed right at the birth of the universe -- with fewer particles than previously thought possible. Researchers at ...
