Non-thermal plasmas are characterized by non-equilibrium energy distributions that enable the generation of reactive species at near room temperature and ...

Abstract: Artificial plasma clouds created by releasing easily ionized metal vapors in the ionosphere demonstrate unique potential for enabling over-the-horizon radio wave propagation. Developing ...

LCGC International salutes Jack Henion and Bob W.J. Pirok, winners of the 19th annual LCGC Lifetime Achievement and Emerging ...

During femtosecond laser fabrication, photons are mainly absorbed by electrons, and the subsequent energy transfer from electrons to ions is of picosecond order. Hence, lattice motion is negligible ...

Abstract: This study investigates the conversion of chitin to chitosan using sustainable methods involving Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma. Plasma was applied to chitin samples to evaluate ...

Zap Energy’s three-meter reactor uses a lead-lithium liquid wall, cutting hardware needs and bringing cleaner, modular power ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will conduct the Decadal Assessment of Plasma Science with support from the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, the Air ...

Objectives: The detection of lung cancer at its early stages remains essential for better survival outcomes, but current diagnostic approaches show limited sensitivity and often suffer from poor ...

Physicists are teasing a potential leap in nuclear fusion that sounds almost absurd on its face: a path to reactions that are ...

To help make commercial fusion energy a reality, PPPL leads the StellFoundry project, which uses AI to sift through enormous amounts of data to determine which fusion system configurations are best.
