Plasma -- the ionized matter found at the Sun's edge and all throughout -- often traces these magnetic structures. ... the plasma sheet isn't a continuous, uniform entity, ...

Earth’s Plasma Sheet Helps Make Water on the Moon September 18, 2023 by Brian Wang University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa planetary scientist Shuai Li, led research that high energy electrons in Earth’s ...

The researchers produced graphene sheets and applied a plasma treatment to them under argon (Ar), hydrogen (H 2), or oxygen (O 2) environments.This treatment "functionalized" graphene, meaning ...

While scientists had suspected plasma sheets were unstable, no one had ever managed to characterize that instability until now.

Current sheets in turbulent plasma are the key trigger for magnetic reconnection. However, how current sheets come into being remains unresolved.

The plasma sheet within this magnetotail is a region consisting of high energy electrons and ions that may be sourced from Earth and the solar wind. Previously, ...

One example of a collisionless plasma is the Earth's plasma sheet 6, where thermalized hot plasma with ion temperatures of about 5 × 10 7 K has been observed 7.
