Using advanced computational modeling, a research team led by the University of Oxford, working in partnership with the ...

allowing him to make custom parts like the feedthrough for the vacuum chamber as well as a liquid-cooled base, which prevents heat from ruining the magnets that concentrate the plasma onto the ...

They can also create surface radicals through mechanical damage to the atomic structure. These radicals can then participate in surface reactions and bonding. Vacuum plasma treatment is a low ...

The bundle of magnets at the heart of the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory's (PPPL) National ...

but once in the vacuum of space, look out! The way the PPR works is that fuel – likely a gas – will be ionized to create plasma. By rapidly discharging electrical energy into the plasma ...

The first of five vacuum vessel sectors for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) has been completed. Also known as the plasma chamber, the vacuum vessel sector provides a ...

Creating the hot mix of freely moving ... made to travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum or come to a complete stop, while the plasma itself travels in an entirely different direction.

(Outer space is not actually a total vacuum because it does contain small amounts of gas, plasma and other particles. But this matter is surrounded by vast swathes of emptiness.) But in a new ...

(WKOW) -- A team of physicists and engineers from UW-Madison reached a milestone in the quest to create a carbon-free energy source. According to a release from the university, the team used a fusion ...
