The detection is detailed in a new study published in the journal Physical Review Letters. Immediately following the Big Bang, the universe was an extremely hot, concentrated plasma of elementary ...

Physicists have found evidence of X particles in the quark-gluon plasma produced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, based near Geneva, ...

The study of energetic particles and Alfvén eigenmodes is central to understanding plasma behaviour in both laboratory fusion devices and natural astrophysical settings. These high-energy particles, ...

In terms of difficulty, trapping a plasma is right up there with catching a cloud and pinning it down, or holding a moonbeam in your hand. But physicists have devised a new way to magnetically bottle ...

More than 100 scientists from around the world met in Shizuoka, Japan, last week to discuss the physics of energetic particles and instabilities in fusion plasmas – the state of matter in which nuclei ...
