Eventually, the semiconductor crystals forged in this orbital furnace will power the infrastructure of our daily lives.

When grapes are placed in a microwave, plasma is created. Although many researchers have attempted to explain this phenomenon ...

You’ve probably seen the videos of a grape — cut almost totally in half — in a microwave creates a plasma. A recent physics paper studies the phenomenon with a lot of high-tech gear and now the actual ...

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 ...

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 ...

(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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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," ...
