When a high-speed target travels through the Earth's atmosphere, a plasma sheath forms on the target surface due to thermal ionization. Through theoretical calculation and wind tunnel measurements, we ...

The electromagnetic characteristics of the reentry target in plasma sheath have been researched. The attenuation characteristics of electromagnetic wave in the plasma sheath for different frequency ...

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 ...

The researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics want to fetch the Sun's fire to Earth. A future fusion power plant is to produce energy by fusing nuclei of the two heavy hydrogen ...

Laser-produced plasmas have been used to create short bursts of x-rays and to accelerate particles — so-called plasma-based accelerators. Laser produced plasmas are also useful for recreating ...
