ISR researchers work closely with the Air Force Research Laboratory supporting the Plasma Chemistry Laboratory and the Space Chemistry Laboratory located at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...

As [Jake von Slatt] explains it, there are two kinds of plasma cutters on the market: high-frequency (HF) start and pilot arc start. The basic difference is that HF start cutters, which comprise ...

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 ...

Back in February, the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter captured an image of a giant solar eruption. During the eruption, the Sun literally belched hot plasma 2.2 million miles into space.

Cui is exploring ways to improve electric propulsion thrusters—a key technology for future space missions ... findings in December 2024, in Plasma Sources Science and Technology that provide ...

The Space Plasma Group at the University of Colorado studies the nonlinear evolution of space and laboratory plasmas driven by electric currents and beams of energetic particles. Recent investigations ...
