A grape, sliced nearly in half and placed in a household microwave, can produce a bright flash of plasma, the same high-energy state of matter found in lightning bolts and the surface of the sun. For ...

Microwave plasma dynamics encompasses the study of ionised gases generated by high frequency electromagnetic fields and their complex interactions with the surrounding medium. At the heart of this ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) A standard microwave oven sits on a laboratory bench. Inside, a small sample of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) erupts into brilliant yellow-white plasma, reaching temperatures over 800 ...

Microwave-Induced Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (MIP-OES) is an analytical technique that utilises microwave energy to generate a plasma, in which atoms and ions emit characteristic wavelengths ...

Asst. Prof. Fanglin Che's collaborative research work on post-microwave plasma for methane and nitrogen conversion is published in the Catalysis Science and Technology Journal. Che is co-corresponding ...

Two research groups design a plasma (an ionized gas) reactor maintained by microwaves that makes it possible to decontaminate waters with high concentrations of dye. Plasma is an ionized gas -- that ...

New research suggesting a improved method for extracting lithium by applying plasma technology has been recently published. On the 31st of January, the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy(KFE) announced ...

When two grapes are placed close together in a microwave, they can produce a brief flash of plasma — a state of matter ...
