We tried to ask him some questions, but he was very evasive.

It's letting them study the Sun in a more "hands-on" way.

Scientists built a ball of plasma they call a "mini-Sun"

Twinkle, Little Star

Physicists built a "mini-sun" that's helping them study solar winds and why the Sun occasionally ejects blasts of plasma into space.

It's easier than studying the real Sun up close.

"Essentially, we will be able to use these miniature thrusters for many missions."

Princeton unveils plasma-powered satellite

Give Me A Boost

Physicists just built a new plasma-powered thruster that could vastly improve the capabilities of a small satellite conducting research in space.

The new thruster could push fleets of CubeSats farther into orbit.

"The only problem is that nuclear fusion plasmas are highly unstable."

Studying the Sun's atmosphere could make fusion power a reality

Solar Plasma

By studying the plasma in the Sun's atmosphere, we could learn how to control it here on Earth and finally make fusion energy a reality.

Studying the Sun’s Atmosphere Could Make Fusion Power a Reality

Plasma is the most common form of matter in our universe, but it's extremely difficult to study.
