With the most powerful radio telescope in the southern hemisphere, we have observed a twinkling star and discovered an abundance of mysterious plasma structures in our cosmic neighborhood.

Plasma has long been treated as an exotic laboratory curiosity, yet a new world-first result is forcing scientists to look at this fiery state of matter as something far more familiar. By uncovering a ...

Scientists are using non-thermal plasma to produce fertiliser and long-chain hydrocarbons. Mason Wakley talks to the chemists ...

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 ...
