With some strains of bacteria becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics, contamination by touching infected surfaces or coming into contact with airborne microbes is fast becoming a real threat ...

What if Iron Man’s Arc Reactor were real? Join us as we build a functioning prototype, generate ionized plasma, and explore the science behind this Marvel-inspired tech. The future is here! Tom Hanks ...

Everyone loves to play with electricity and plasma, and [Hyperspace Pirate] is no exception. Inspired by a couple of 40×20 N52 neodymium magnets he had kicking around, he decided to put together a ...

For over six decades, scientists have speculated about the existence of plasma structures that reside in the magnetosphere’s inner layers. Researchers in Australia have now created 3D images of these ...
