Shock wave dynamics and particle interaction constitute a rapidly evolving field that bridges high-speed fluid dynamics with particulate matter behaviour in a variety of industrial and natural ...

A team from Nagoya University in Japan has observed, for the first time, the energy transferring from resonant electrons to whistler-mode waves in space. Their findings offer direct evidence of ...

Physicists have taken a first step in understanding quantum emergence -- the transition from 'one-to-many' particles -- by studying not one, not many, but two isolated, interacting particles. The ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

Just like there are waves in the ocean, waves can also occur in an electrically charged gas called a plasma, made up of electrons and ions. In the ocean, people surf by riding their boards at nearly ...

A new study led by Southwest Research Institute's Dr. Michael Starkey has provided observational evidence from the SwRI-led Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Mission of pickup ions (PUIs) and associated ...

Physicists have used spacecraft data to confirm an important theory of plasma physics that improves our understanding of space weather. A team from Nagoya University in Japan has observed, for the ...
