Scientists have confirmed that eruptions from distant stars can escape their star's pull. A radio telescope in the ...

An extrapolation technique aims to address the gap between Hall effect thruster performance in space and in laboratory conditions.

At about 0200 UTC (that’s 1pm AEDT) on November 12, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Australian ...

Space plasma physics examines the behaviour of ionised gases in planetary and astrophysical environments where electromagnetic forces dominate over collisional interactions. This field explores ...

A new study by researchers at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, funded by the National Science Foundation, has identified for the first time a process by which the solar wind is heated along ...

Scientists who built and will control the instruments to investigate plasma changes around a comet describe their contribution to the ten year long mission at a pre-launch press briefing in London ...

Stars could be sliced in half by "relativistic blades," or ultra-powerful outflows of plasma shaped by extremely strong magnetic fields, an unpublished paper claims. When you purchase through links on ...

When the plasma confined in the dipole magnetic field of RT-1 contains a significant ratio of high-temperature electrons (red particles), the spontaneous formation of a chorus emission (white emission ...
