How do we extract energy from space around a spacecraft? If there are differences in the speed of the solar wind or differences in flows of particles around a spacecraft or where a spacecraft is ...
In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists have performed the first global simulations of monster shocks ...
A research group led by Associate Professor Masahiro Kobayashi of the National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) has discovered that in the Large Helical Device (LHD), when fluctuations are ...
A number of concepts exist for exploiting the solar wind as a means of propulsion: the MagSail, the e-sail, and the plasma magnet. All of these concepts work predominately as drag devices and thus are ...
Helicon plasma propulsion represents a promising and multifaceted approach in the domain of electric space propulsion. At its core, the technology utilises helicon waves to generate high-density ...
During a close approach to the Sun, the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter watched that tipping point unfold in unusually ...
A recent solar flare unleashed a massive plasma plume from the sun's south pole, where these stellar eruptions rarely happen. The unusual phenomenon is a sign of the impending solar maximum. When you ...
Black holes could be a cosmological engine. When their magnetic fields disconnect and reconnect, they can accelerate plasma particles near the event horizon – the point beyond which nothing can escape ...
In order to achieve fusion power generation, it is necessary to confine and maintain high-temperature plasma in a magnetic field. To achieve this, the turbulence that causes the plasma temperature to ...
