The sun’s corona is a site of scientific intrigue for its erratic eruptions and massive, stringy loops of plasma called prominences. But we can only see this outermost part of the sun’s ...

Lastly, the DBD plasma approach was shown to be an effective route to NOx abatement with reductions of 93-100% across various flow rates and power inputs. The promising outcomes from the DBD plasma ...

This means that the plasma didn’t destroy the virus but rather altered its ability to infect. We’re working to understand how this happens, which will help us engineer, or “tune,” the reactor.

However, the reactor also allows the generation of a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) over the entire length of the catalyst region (IPC). DBD produces cool atmospheric plasma and is a standard ...

Scientists captured the highest-resolution images of the sun’s corona to date. The plasma is artificially colorized in the image, with darker pink colors corresponding to brighter light.
