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 ...

Consider adding a smart lamp to your shopping list. While these products will illuminate a dark space just like a traditional lamp, they're packed with additional features – such as the option ...

Good lighting at home can be transformative, whether that’s stringing up fairy lights in the bedroom, or punctuating the living room with soothing glows from floor and table lamps. While we're ...

The WEST tokamak just broke the record for retaining hot fusion plasma, holding on to it for an unprecedented 22 minutes. WEST and other tokamaks are paving the way for ITER which, upon completion ...

In this article we delve into the evidence for SAD lamps with the help of one of Which?'s expert scientific advisors, Ruby Gordon, along with insights from The Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCP) and ...

The Sun periodically ejects huge bubbles of plasma from its surface that contain an intense magnetic field. These events are called coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. When two of these ejections ...

WEST sustained hydrogen plasma for over 20 minutes using 2 MW heating, marking a key milestone as experiments move to higher power.

Reaching durations such as these is a crucial milestone for machines like ITER, which will need to maintain fusion plasmas for several minutes. The end goal is to control the plasma, which is ...

The end goal is to control the plasma, which is naturally unstable, while ensuring that all plasma-facing components are able to withstand its radiation without malfunctioning or polluting it.
