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

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

A coronal mass ejection from a distant star has been confirmed for the first time, raising questions about how such events ...

For years, astronomers talked about coronal mass ejections on other stars almost like ghost stories. You hear signs, hints ...

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

Fusion energy is being researched and developed as a new source of electric power that will contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral society. At the National Institute for Fusion Science, ...

Researchers have discovered the largest black hole plasma jets ever in a galaxy almost 7 billion light years away from Earth.

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

The Sun periodically ejects huge bubbles of plasma from its surface that contain an intense magnetic field. These events are called coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. When two of these ejections collide ...

"We were very surprised to see that the same tiny plasma jets appear to be driving both the fast and the slow solar wind." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
