A group of scientists has developed special CO2-derived carbon nanotubes that can generate sustained plasma almost instantly when exposed to microwaves from a standard microwave oven. Plasma is the ...

Russian scientists have developed a plasma electric rocket engine that could enable travel to Mars in just one to two months.

Using the charged particles found in plasma is the easiest way to create the very small but deep, circular holes needed for ...

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak achieved a remarkable scientific milestone by maintaining steady-state high-confinement plasma operation for an impressive 1,066 seconds. Credit: ...

In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This step brings the international fusion community closer to achieving ...

EAST heats up plasma and traps it inside a donut-shaped reactor chamber — called the tokamak — with powerful magnetic fields. For the latest record, researchers made several upgrades to the ...
