Chinese chemists test 'self-cleaning' fabric coating that can remove stains without laundry detergent; Can NASA and SpaceX ...
Inside 20 years, the U.S., Europe and Japan have the potential for generating up to 40% of their electrical needs from wind energy. With the trend toward larger wind turbines, the cost/kWh for ...
Current methanol production from methane requires extreme heat and pressure, making it energy-intensive and a major source of carbon dioxide emissions. Researchers used low-temperature plasma ...
We were already considering ordering one of those plasma light bulbs we showed you the other day, and now we see this Coke bottle that also does the plasma trick. The ...
These microsize lightning bolts are more than fancy flashes in a chemical reactor tube. Dayne Swearer and his team at ...

That's similar to a lightning strike, where lightning strips electrons from air molecules to create a conductive plasma channel in the air. The activated nitrogen oxide (NOx) molecules from that ...
Inside a thundercloud, collisions bet­ween ice particles separate electric charges, creating a strong electric field between the cloud base and the ground Lightning is a natural example of plasma ...
Dan Singleton was a graduate student on a research project a few years ago, showing the U.S. Navy how a powerful new technology called "pulsed power" could help start up an aircraft carrier quickly, ...
