Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...

My research is in the general area of space plasma physics, cosmic dust, and planetary science. My primary work takes place at the Institute for Modeling Plasmas ...

Multi-spacecraft scientific missions for space physics have been flown since the 1960s with early missions such as IMP, VELA, ...

It applies knowledge learned in Physics I and II in particular in electromagnetics to a real situation: space. The course introduces the present knowledge of space phenomena and the physical ...

Queen Mary research led by Dr Christopher Chen (Department of Physics and Astronomy) is building a fundamental picture of how different physical processes in space plasma work. These findings will not ...

As a result, it became possible for the first time in the world to measure the plasma phase-space distribution at a high speed of 10,000 Hz (10,000 times per second). This is a 50-fold improvement ...

Plasma physics is the study of a state of matter ... Plasmas are found naturally in stars and in space.

In a comprehensive experimental study, an international team of researchers has confirmed the calculations of a leading ...

The Sun periodically ejects huge bubbles of plasma from its surface that contain an intense magnetic field. These events are called coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. When two of these ejections collide ...

Finally, plasma physics is an important tool in both space physics and astronomical research. The courses typically include lectures, exercises, group work and research literature and end in ...

Computational Physics Lab, led by Professor D. Vainchtein, is focused on numerical and analytical methods, space and laboratory plasma, aerodynamics, and fluid mechanics. Active projects include: - ...
