Returning spacecraft hit the atmosphere at over five times the speed of sound, generating a sheath of superheated ionized plasma that blocks radio communications during the critical minutes of reentry ...

Ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) is a pivotal technique in plasma physics, especially within the domain of magnetic confinement fusion. By utilising radio frequency power in the ion cyclotron ...

A small experimental electric thruster, in which power is supplied via Electron-Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) absorption of microwaves by the propellant gas, has been tested at the NASA Marshall Space ...

Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion sources harness the resonant interaction between microwaves and electrons in a magnetic field to produce intense beams of multi‐charged ions. These devices have ...

A faint radio whisper that came from the Earth's magnetosphere for a certain number of hours every dusk till dawn suddenly went silent in mid-2022.

Sensors, communications devices and imaging equipment that use a prism and a special form of light -- a surface plasmon-polariton -- may incorporate multiple channels or redundant applications if ...

Researchers from HSE University and the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences analyzed seven years of ...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for approximately 30% of global mortality and imposing a substantial economic burden on society. Due to the high ...

Just like there are waves in the ocean, waves can also occur in an electrically charged gas called a plasma, made up of electrons and ions. In the ocean, people surf by riding their boards at nearly ...
