Magnetised plasma dynamics and wave interactions constitute a pivotal research area that bridges fundamental physics and practical applications ranging from fusion energy to space and astrophysical ...

Observational and theoretical space plasma physics (wave-particle interactions, solar radio bursts, solar wind acceleration and heating, turbulence in space plasmas). Dust in the solar system. Data ...

A new type of gravitational wave detector running in Western Australia has recorded two rare events that might be signals of dark matter or primordial black holes. These high-frequency gravitational ...

Earlier this year researchers developed sensing protocols that allow optical fibers to 'listen' outside an optical fiber where they cannot 'look', based on an interplay between light waves and ...

Two independent teams of physicists have used ultracold atomic gases to demonstrate how a little bit of disorder can paralyse a quantum system — an effect called “Anderson localization”. Their ...
