(PHILADELPHIA) - Cold plasma looks like the glow from the "Star Wars" blue light saber but this beam of energy, made of electrons that change polarity at micro-second or nanosecond speeds ...

Some experts even think that these devices might someday replace conventional flight control surfaces. More immediately, aerodynamicists are looking to place the same technology on the huge ...

This process is called ionization. Plasma makes up the sun and stars, and it is the most common state of matter in the universe as a whole. You may like Scientists turn light into a 'supersolid ...

This is the Hagedorn temperature, and when we reach it quarks are stripped from nucleons to produce a quark-gluon plasma. This is our next state of matter. You might wonder if this stuff is even ...

Plasma is not a common state of matter here on Earth, but it may be the most common state of matter in the universe, according to the Jefferson Laboratory. Stars like the sun are essentially ...

The most common (and least familiar) of these states in the visible universe is a plasma, an ionized gas composed of ions, electrons and neutral particles. This state of matter exhibits several ...

Solid, liquid, gas, plasma — and a mysterious fifth thing ... This tool tabulates and processes binary data by reaching a topologic state that transcends the solids, liquids, and gasses we ...

In school, you might have learned that there are three or even four states of matter ... Beyond that state, there’s the quark-gluon plasma, when even the building blocks of particles are ...
