Chandrayaan-3 measures near-surface plasma content
First in-situ measurements of the surface-bound Lunar plasma environment over the south polar region.
Solar Orbiter found tiny jets could be the source of solar wind
Each jet lasts between 20 and 100 seconds, and expels plasma at around 100 km/s.
New research offers clues on the origins of the Universe’s magnetic fields
The source of magnetic fields has long been debated. New research offers clues on their origins.
Intense wave energy discovered in the coldest region on the Sun
How are temperatures in the corona hundreds of times hotter than temperatures at the Sun’s visible surface?
Small fusion experiment hits temperatures hotter than the sun’s core
The researchers used an approach similar to past “supershots”.
Scientists created a shining ring around the black hole in the lab
A spinning plasma ring mimics the rotating structure surrounding a black hole.
Lab-grown solar flares offer clues on mechanism behind bursts of high-energy particles
Simulating solar flares on a scale the size of a banana.
Creating stable plasmas using microwaves
Plasma physicists from Ukraine, Germany and Japan collaborate to spark fusion power.
A breakthrough on an age-old limitation of the first law of thermodynamics
Physicists give the first law of thermodynamics a makeover.
Scientists reproduced a gravity field- 1,000 times stronger than Earth’s gravity
The study overcomes the effects of Earth’s gravity, replicating conditions on other planets, stars.
Physicists observed global spin alignment signal in heavy-ion collisions
A potential new avenue for understanding the strong interaction at work at the sub-nucleon level.
Scientists found evidence of magnetic reconnection between Ganymede and Jupiter
This gives us a very early tantalizing taste of the information we expect to learn from ESA’s JUICE mission.
