Electric (plasma) propulsion devices have been used for applications such as station-keeping and orbit transfer, in place of chemical rockets, because they provide a higher specific impulse. Detailed ...

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 ...

The sun's convection zone plays a key role in the generation and evolution of the Sun's magnetic field. Analyzing data sets spanning more than 20 years, researchers have obtained the most ...

SAE International Journal of Engines, Vol. 10, No. 3 (June 2017), pp. 917-927 (11 pages) ABSTRACT High speed, time resolved Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) diagnostics was applied to an optical SI ...

At high enough flight velocities, the intense heating of the gas generates a plasma layer around the vehicle. The presence of free electrons in the flow field has been known to hinder the transmission ...

To improve and validate an analytical method based on liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) for the quantitative measurement of ilaprazole and its ...

A helioseismology study maps the flow of plasma inside the Sun and supports a model that also explains the sunspot cycle. The results of a new helioseismology study suggest that the Sun’s meridional ...

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 ...
