Scientists have become interested in energy enclosed at 100,000,000 ºC in the fourth state of matter, plasma, with the ...

Everyone is familiar with three of the traditional states of matter (liquid, gas and solid) but the fourth fundamental state is one that is less well known, which seems ridiculous as it is the most ...

A breakthrough experiment revealed how plasma turbulence spreads heat inside fusion reactors, solving a decades-old problem ...

China's artificial sun breaks density limit that caused fusion experiments to fail, moving closer to clean energy.

Space Forge has positioned itself as a specialist in off‑planet manufacturing, building satellites designed not just to ...

Supermassive black holes have been known to belch gigantic beams of plasma into space – and now scientists have managed to recreate these fireballs in a lab at CERN. Although black holes are famous ...

A team of scientists has an unusual explanation for how and when dark matter — the invisible, mysterious stuff that’s theorized to make up most of the matter in the universe — was formed. The theory ...

Dark matter is the mysterious substance that comprises about 23 percent of all the mass in our universe, but thus far it has eluded physicists’ many attempts to directly detect it. Maybe instead of ...

Researchers have produced quark-gluon plasma -- a state of matter thought to have existed right at the birth of the universe -- with fewer particles than previously thought possible. Researchers at ...

When I was in elementary school, my teacher told me that matter exists in three possible states: solid, liquid, and gas. She neglected to mention plasma, a special kind of electrified gas that’s a ...

Cold plasma looks like the glow from the "Star Wars" blue light saber but this beam of energy, made of electrons that change polarity at micro-second or nanosecond speeds, could help bones heal faster ...
