Two research groups design a plasma (an ionized gas) reactor maintained by microwaves that makes it possible to decontaminate waters with high concentrations of dye. Plasma is an ionized gas -- that ...

Inspired by Iron Man’s Arc Reactor, we created a real-life ionized plasma generator—and it’s as close to sci-fi as you can get. This isn’t just a glowing prop; it’s a functioning tech piece producing ...

If net-positive fusion energy is to ever be achieved, density is key: the more atomic nuclei crashing into each other, the more efficient the reaction will be. Nearly 40 years ago, Martin Greenwald ...

Sustained hypersonic propulsion is a complex problem due to the high temperatures and velocities associated with these flows. In high-hypersonic flow regimes, combustion is limited by low residence ...
