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. This ...

The development of laser–plasma accelerators began in the early 1980s, inspired by the pioneering work of Tajima and Dawson 1. Key to their operation is the fact that unlike the superconducting ...

Abstract: In order to find a simpler method to simulate the charging of spacecraft surface and further analyze the characteristics of the charging reaction of low-orbit spacecraft surface materials, ...

Abstract: I welcome you to the fourth issue of the IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials in 2021. This issue includes 23 papers covering different aspects of communication networks. In particular, ...

A 30-cm diameter ion thruster is a high power (two work modes, 3 and 5 kW), high thrust (100 mN in 3 kW and 200 mN in 5 kW) ion thruster, which is designed for the new generation large-scale ...

To donate plasma, you must be at least 18 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds, and pass a health exam. You can donate plasma up to twice a week, but you need to wait at least 48 hours between ...
