A computational paradigm that can accurately simulate interactions between powerful laser beams and quantum fluctuations in a ...

Ultra-intense lasers can accelerate electrons to near-light speeds within a single oscillation (or 'wave cycle') of the electric field, making them a ...

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is apple juice that’s been fermented twice. Its claim to fame is acetic acid, which forms during the fermentation process and is thought to have a variety of health benefits.

Physicists at the University of Oxford have successfully simulated how light interacts with empty space—a phenomenon once thought to belong purely to the realm of science fiction. The ...

The fall from a peak of $3433 an ounce on April 22 to around $3208/oz today was caused largely by the promise of peace in Ukraine and Gaza and an easing of tariffs in the U.S. v China trade war.

During high-energy collisions of lead nuclei at the LHC, scientists can momentarily recreate quark–gluon plasma, a state of matter that existed just millionths of a second after the Big Bang.

Plasma is also known as the fourth state of matter, alongside solid, liquid and gas. When additional energy is added to a gas, it becomes ionized and enters the energetic plasma state.

While on Earth, matter exists in three forms: solid, liquid or gas; in space, 99.9% of the matter exists as plasma. Formed of loose ions and electrons, this substance exists in a supercharged ...

Researchers at the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS) in Bengaluru have developed a new technique to enhance next-generation lighting.

But none sound as impressive as developing a new state of matter. There are three fundamental states of matter — solid, liquid, and gas — and two exotic forms that we know as plasma and the ...

At the heart of this challenge lies the need to tame plasma, a superheated state of matter hotter than the Sun’s core, and to build reactors capable of withstanding its fury. From magnetic ...
