New Method for Measuring Equilibrium of Plasma in Future Tokamaks

Researchers looking to achieve on Earth the fusion that powers stars and the sun must be able to regulate the hot, charged plasma that fuels fusion reactions. Plasma is the state of matter formed by free-floating electrons and atomic nuclei, or ions.

Black Hole Brings down Curtain on Jellyfish Galaxy's Star Turn

The role of an excited black hole in the death of an exotic 'jellyfish' galaxy will be presented today (3 July) by Callum Bellhouse of the University of Birmingham at the RAS National Astronomy Meeting in Lancaster. The supermassive black hole at the centre of jellyfish galaxy JO201 is stripping away gas and throwing it out into space, accelerating suppression of star formation and effectively 'killing' the galaxy.
