Plasma is a state of matter that emerges when a gas is heated to sufficiently high temperatures, prompting some electrons to become free from atoms. This state of matter has been the focus of many ...

Information could become the fifth state of matter alongside gas, plasma, liquid, and solid states. A scientist has proposed an experiment involving particle annihilation that could establish that ...

Researchers in South Korea have solved a long-standing mystery in plasma physics by experimentally demonstrating how tiny magnetic ripples can trigger large-scale structural changes within plasma. The ...

Plasma happens when gas gets heated to a very high temperature and the atoms lose their electrons. Find out more about this state of matter. Science Trek is available to stream on pbs.org and the free ...

image: PHASMA, housed within West Virginia University's Department of Physics and Astronomy, is a complex, one-of-its-kind-in-the-world experiment composed of vacuum pumps, electromagnets and ...

To probe the mysteries of how galaxies evolve over time, scientists needed a supercomputer with out-of-this-world ...

Converting carbon dioxide from greenhouse gas emissions into valuable organic products is one step toward mitigating the harmful environmental effects of emissions. A team of researchers in the ...

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 ...

AMES, Iowa – Thomas Iadecola worked his way through the title of the latest research paper that includes his theoretical and analytical work, patiently explaining digital quantum simulation, Floquet ...

Physicists have demonstrated how simulations using quantum computing can enable observation of a distinctive state of matter taken out of its normal equilibrium. Such novel states of matter could one ...
