Everyone is familiar with three of the traditional states of matter (liquid, gas and solid) but the fourth fundamental state is one that is less well known, which seems ridiculous as it is the most ...

A new plasma framework reframes ignition, sustainment, and degradation, redefining energy behavior for next-generation ...

Chinese scientists break a historic barrier and achieve the highest plasma density in a nuclear fusion reactor.

Scientists are using non-thermal plasma to produce fertiliser and long-chain hydrocarbons. Mason Wakley talks to the chemists ...

Seeking to achieve fusion energy, research on high-temperature and high-density plasma confinement by magnetic fields is being conducted around the world. In a magnetically confined plasma, as the ...

Researchers have produced quark-gluon plasma -- a state of matter thought to have existed right at the birth of the universe -- with fewer particles than previously thought possible. Researchers at ...
