Magnetic fields thread the largest structures in the observable universe. They trace the filaments of the cosmic web, wind ...
Nuclear fusion comes in all shapes and sizes, and while donut-shaped tokamaks are the most common, many companies and universities are investigating other ways to bring star power in cheaper and more ...
A nuclear fusion experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has set a record for the strongest steady magnetic field confining a plasma, ushering in new hope that forthcoming demonstration ...
Although the idea of containing a plasma within a magnetic field seems straightforward at first, plasmas are highly dynamic systems that will happily escape magnetic confinement if given half a chance ...
Even though Earth’s magnetic field shields us from solar wind and space weather–it doesn’t always offer complete protection. Researchers have discovered a new mechanism in Earth’s space environment ...
There have been some laboratory experiments and theoretical work done to validate aspects of the plasma magnet propulsion concept. The Plasma Magnet is a wind drag device invented almost twenty years ...
When you look up at the sky on a sunny day, the sun might seem like a bright spot, unchanging in the sky. But the sun is a ...
The magnetic fields lacing through galaxy clusters and cosmic filaments have no business being there. The early universe was ...
