Plasmoid thrusters have had successful proof of principle experiments done in the lab at Princeton University. The systems should be compact and simple and based upon magnetism present in solar flares ...

In an ongoing game of cosmic hide and seek, scientists have a new tool that may give them an edge. Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have ...

Ball lightning and plasmoid phenomena have long captured the interest of both the scientific community and the general public due to their rare and enigmatic nature. Ball lightning is typically ...

Physicists have developed a computer program incorporating machine learning that could help identify blobs of plasma in outer space known as plasmoids. In a novel twist, the program has been trained ...

What if the future of clean energy is actually ancient? The Thunderstorm Generator uses plasmoid reactions, sacred geometry, and toroidal plasma physics to reduce engine emissions — reportedly ...

How are plasma eruptions in near-Earth space formed? Vlasiator, a model designed at the University of Helsinki for simulating near-Earth space, demonstrated that the two central theories on the ...
