Active flow control using plasma actuators offers a novel and increasingly influential method for manipulating aerodynamic flows. By utilising the dielectric barrier discharge mechanism, these devices ...

For 400 years people have tracked sunspots, the dark patches that appear for weeks at a time on the sun's surface. They have observed but been unable to explain why the number of spots peaks every 11 ...

In a new application study researchers show how an AF4-ICP-MS system is able to obtain valuable information on the multi-element speciation and absolute molecular mass of human plasma proteins such as ...

Abstract: For the UHF range, a circular plasma antenna array with beam shaping is designed using CST. The simulation results are detailed in paper [1]. This paper presents the experimental results of ...

Beneath the Sun's outer shell, a layer of highly ionized, boiling hot gas flows all the way down to 200,000 kilometers below the surface of the star. Temperatures of this plasma can reach up to 45,000 ...

Blood flows differently than water. Anyone who has ever cut themselves knows that blood flows viscously and rather erratically. The similarity between blood and ketchup is something not only ...
