Plasma antennas represent a transformative approach in the manipulation and propagation of electromagnetic waves. By utilising ionised gases instead of traditional metallic elements, these antennas ...

Space startup Phase Four will be rolling out the next generation of its Maxwell radio-frequency plasma propulsion system next year, which the company says offers key performance improvements to allow ...

We present a novel class of oscillatory integrators for the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system which are uniformly accurate with respect to the plasma frequency c. Convergence holds from the slowly varying ...

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 ...

At high enough flight velocities, the intense heating of the gas generates a plasma layer around the vehicle. The presence of free electrons in the flow field has been known to hinder the transmission ...

Voyager 1—the most distant human-made object—has made yet another remarkable discovery having to do with interstellar space. It’s steady, persistent, and long-lasting: a low-frequency hum that’s ...

A weak but persistent signal from the Voyager 1 spacecraft at first seemed like a fluke to Cornell University Ph.D. candidate Stella Koch Ocker. “I was literally just kind of staring at a plot, and I ...
