A team of Italian scientists has fired a laser beam into a hunk of glass to create what they believe is an optical analogue of the Hawking radiation that many…
Whenever two pieces of metal at different voltages are brought near each other, as when an appliance is plugged into a live socket, there is a chance there…
Physicists working on the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory are now one step closer to solving one of the…
A new analysis technique for the design and optimization of beam optics has successfully been used to model the group behavior of electron beams over a linear…
The Sun sporadically expels trillions of tons of million-degree hydrogen gas in explosions called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Such clouds—an example is…
Just like an electrical switch allows the flow of electricity into electrical circuits, relativistic transparency in plasma can act like a fast optical switch…
When physicists probe the mysteries of plasma, the fourth state of matter, they often discover phenomena of striking beauty.Much as when the Hubble Space…
Researchers at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have successfully used Coaxial Helicity Injection (CHI) to generate plasma current and couple it to a…
Scientists and mission controllers are studying never-before-seen images of Hartley 2 appearing on their computer terminal screens. See images at:…
