At the farthest edge of the Sun’s influence, the Voyager probes have stumbled into something that sounds almost mythic: a ...

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 ...

When spacecraft return to Earth, one of the tensest parts of the mission is the radio black out that occurs as the vehicle re-enters the atmosphere. Travelling at hypersonic speeds of between Mach 8 ...

Due to the unique conditions of the space environment and abundant resources, the field investigation and study of the Moon, ...

First, the model of electrostatic force is demonstrated. As depicted in Fig. 1, dominated by the photoelectron effect induced by solar ultraviolet and x-ray radiation, the spacecraft and lunar ...

Chinese scientists have demonstrated that next-generation terahertz technology could be used for hypersonic vehicle detection and tracking, an advance that can lead to new 6G communication ...

The interaction between electromagnetic waves and plasma is a subject of considerable interest due to its relevance in aerospace, telecommunications, and stealth technologies. When electromagnetic ...

At the far edge of the Solar System, where the Sun’s influence thins into the dark between the stars, a pair of aging ...

There are many opportunities for graduate student research in computational physics of plasmas and beams, including the study of nanoscale vacuum channel transistors, the study of the formation of ...

Here’s What You Need to Know: Dennis Killinger, a professor emeritus of physics at the University of South Florida, called the idea “intriguing.” “The idea seems possible,” he told the National ...
