Plasma beams can get extremely hot, but not before potentially flash cooling a target. Researchers at the University of Virginia’s Experiments and Simulations in Thermal Engineering (ExSITE) Lab have ...

Active energy compression in laser-plasma electron beams at DESY's LUX facility reduces energy spread and jitter, paving the ...

The ALBATOR project proposes using beams of charged electrons, or ions, to shove space junk around from a distance, without ...

Their idea: fit a satellite with a type of propulsion system known as a helicon plasma thruster, then shoot space junk with the beam of plasma it produces. The force of the carefully aimed shot will ...

Laser beam interactions with plasma are at the forefront of contemporary high-energy density physics, offering transformative potential in areas ranging from inertial confinement fusion to advanced ...

A team of researchers from Tohoku University in Japan and the Australian National University has come up with a plasma beam shooting satellite that could push space debris out of orbit. Mounted on a ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The Church publishes the Monitor ...

There are plenty of labs working on solutions to Kessler Syndrome, where there’s so much debris in low Earth orbit that rockets are no longer capable of reaching it without being hit with hypersonic ...

A radar that uses a plasma to direct the beam is being developed for guided missiles by UK technology company Qinetiq and the system's inventor, Oxford University-based Plasma Antenna. The antenna ...
