Scientists have developed an environmentally-friendly plasma-powered jet propulsion system that uses air and electricity to propel itself forward. A Chinese team say their prototype can generate ...

Using a cold plasma jet to activate hydrogel, researchers have created a dressing with antibacterial and wound-healing properties. The technology could be used as an alternative to current treatments ...

Travel to the moon, asteroids, Mars and other nearby destinations could become more affordable if a Virginia-based company achieves its goal of building cheaper electric space propulsion. The firm, ...

Imagine a jet engine that could propel an aircraft faster than a traditional engine, taking all the way to the edge of the atmosphere, all without burning fossil fuels — and for a low cost. That’s ...

Innovations in jet technology are happening all the time. This is due to modern advancements, which are leading engineers in new directions previously only theorized. The latest example is the plasma ...

Because they are portable and easy to operate at ambient temperatures, cold atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJs) should find innovative applications in biomedicine, materials science and ...

Plasma accelerators utilise electromagnetic forces to propel ionised gases at high speeds, offering a unique platform to study both controlled laboratory phenomena and astrophysical events. Recent ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a massive plasma jet erupting from the supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy M87. This “blow-torch”-like jet, traveling near the speed of light, ...

However, not all innovations are equal, and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

Recently, the team led by Prof. HUANG Qing from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed using a portable pulsed cold air plasma jet (PP-CAPJ) to treat ...
