A nuclear fusion reactor in China, dubbed the "artificial sun," has broken its own record to bring humanity one step closer ...

globally constituting a journey through the four major states of matter: solid, liquid, gas and plasma. In each of these parts three conceptual dimensions coexist, corresponding to three different ...

For some background, plasma is the fourth state of matter, often created by heating a neutral gas or ionizing the gas in a strong electromagnetic field. The availability of free electrons allows ...

This fourth fundamental state of matter is important ... high particle energies. Plasma structures can be produced that sustain higher electric fields, by 3–4 orders of magnitude, opening ...

Scientists at the PHENIX experiment at RHIC have uncovered compelling evidence that even collisions involving small nuclei ...

Plasma physics is the study of a state of matter comprising charged particles. Plasmas are usually created by heating a gas until the electrons become detached from their parent atom or molecule.

This basic model is, however, just that: there are many, many more states of matter out there that it doesn’t capture. The next most familiar is plasma, which is much like a gas except here many ...
