Winglee's design harnesses solar wind to accelerate spacecraft, potentially reaching speeds of over 100km/s. The sailcloth is a magnetic field that repels ions and charged particles, exerting a small but steady force on the spacecraft.
The Max-Planck-Gesellschaft has developed a new method for deriving reliable information from experimental data using probability theory, providing significant cost savings. The 'multi-resolution method' is widely applicable to various fields, including fusion research, medicine, and astronomy.
U.C. San Diego researchers successfully trapped non-neutral plasma using a combination of electric and magnetic fields, forming novel vortex crystals when cooled. This breakthrough may hold the key to creating anti-hydrogen, quantum computing, and advanced atomic clocks.
Researchers at University at Buffalo successfully demonstrate collective flow of nucleons resulting from stopping high-energy lead beam, a critical prerequisite for producing quark/gluon plasma. The achievement confirms theoretical predictions and brings optimism to the field of quark/gluon plasma detection.
A new theory on plasma turbulence warns that ITER's energy confinement could be shortened, making it difficult to ignite a fusion burn. The theory's calculations suggest ITER might only produce a few times the energy used to heat the plasma, rendering it unreliable for generating abundant power.
