A microwave-sized factory now circling Earth has ignited a plasma furnace that could produce semiconductor crystals up to ...

A microwave-size factory now circling Earth is quietly testing whether the cleanest place to build the dirtiest part of ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) A standard microwave oven sits on a laboratory bench. Inside, a small sample of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) erupts into brilliant yellow-white plasma, reaching temperatures over 800 ...

Microwave plasma dynamics encompasses the study of ionised gases generated by high frequency electromagnetic fields and their complex interactions with the surrounding medium. At the heart of this ...

Plasma emission will occur if you ginch in a microwave grape cut in half with a little leather connected. Although this phenomenon was observed, the researcher investigated while destroying 12 ...

Deep inside your smartphone are a handful of interesting miniature electromechanical devices. The accelerometer is a MEMS device, and was produced with some of the most impressive industrial processes ...

Your support goes further this holiday season. When you buy an annual membership or give a one-time contribution, we’ll give a membership to someone who can’t afford access. It’s a simple way for you ...

Microwave-Induced Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (MIP-OES) is an analytical technique that utilises microwave energy to generate a plasma, in which atoms and ions emit characteristic wavelengths ...

A microwave-generated plasma shield that could help aircraft evade radar or protect it from WMD attacks was granted a patent today. The "pseudo surface microwave produced plasma shielding system," ...

• Ever see those YouTube videos where a grape explodes in a microwave? Physicist Aaron Slepkov did. • His team set out to figure out the true reason for the plasma fire phenomenon by testing not only ...

More than 30 years ago, researchers theoretically predicted the ionization-induced channeling of an intense microwave beam propagating through a neutral gas (>103 Pa) -- and now it's finally been ...
