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 ...

(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 ...

More than 30 years ago, researchers theoretically predicted the ionization-induced channeling of an intense microwave beam propagating through a neutral gas (>103 Pa) -- and now it's finally been ...

The microwave plasma propulsion can have three times the efficiency of chemical rockets while having as much power as chemical rockets. Other hyper-efficient propulsion is far more limited in how much ...

Deep inside your smartphone are a handful of interesting miniature electromechanical devices. The accelerometer is a MEMS device, and was produced with some of the most impressive industrial processes ...

A microwave-generated plasma shield that could help aircraft evade radar or protect it from WMD attacks was granted a patent today. The "pseudo surface microwave produced plasma shielding system," ...
