What is "plasmas"

Usage examples of "plasmas".

But the reason I couldn't tell the Council about Wendell's attempts to contact High Muskies with EM, the reason I concocted that ridiculous scheme about building a balloon, was that I didn't dare let them suspect that Muskies are plasmas rather than gases, didn't dare let the concept come into their minds.

These filamentary structures are seen clearly in laboratory plasma discharges, solar prominences, and the shimmering draperies of the aurora, kinking and writhing unpredictably under their own internally generated fields, as fusion researchers trying to contain plasmas have learned to their consternation.

Gravitation became a significant factor only later, when the natural tendency of plasmas to organize coherent structures out of a diffuse medium at much faster rates had already produced higher-density regions—the "clumpiness" that Big Bang cosmologists had been unable to bring about by means of gravity alone.

On the subject of conducting plasmas and magnetic fields in interplanetary space, the tune changed to "we knew all that before Velikovsky" (maybe because of publication of Alfvén's work?

As soon as the appropriate people within EFC have been made aware of these developments, the next step will almost certainly be a call for a detailed reexamination of the theoretical foundations of high-energy plasmas by our senior physicists.

It was the understanding of the existence of plasmas that made those last exploratory efforts with fusion power possible, just before physics went to hell with the rest of the world.

Keene's experience with controlling hot propulsion plasmas qualified him for developing better ways of turning raw, violent heat into usable electricity.

This casting of plasmas did not go well, partly because Macurdy deliberately withheld himself.

Their interiors are highly ionized plasmas, smoldering and hissing with soft energies.
