The ions, now forming a high-speed plasma beam, push the spacecraft forward ... making them ideal for long missions in space, such as NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return humans to ...

"There's a very thin spread of ionized gases called plasma that fills space, which has its own electrons and ions drifting around," explained Greason. "When the electron beam passes through [this ...

"We are inclined to say BEAM-302 has set the bar for efficacy in the space." The one-time therapy appears to correct the mutation that causes the disease, known as Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency ...

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 ...

The plasma and beams group conducts research at the crossroads of plasma ... as well as to explore regions of parameter phase space that are not easily accessible to experiments. The electromagnetics ...

The idea behind the newer, more powerful beams was pretty simple ... or perhaps producing new kinds of plasma or revealing more about the nature of empty space.

Research in plasma physics is extraordinarily broad, encompassing basic physics of plasmas, fusion sciences, space and astrophysics, beam and accelerator physics, laser-matter interactions, and ...

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.

In a comprehensive experimental study, an international team of researchers has confirmed the calculations of a leading ...

Russia has introduced a plasma electric rocket engine that could transform space travel. This technology may reduce the journey to Mars to just 30-60 days. Current missions take nearly a year ...
