Abstract: A gas discharge tube (GDT) switch operating in a MW-class microwave pulse compression (MPC) system is experimentally studied. The examined GDT operates at low-pressure conditions with ...
Abstract: Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (MPCVD) stands as the forefront method for producing large-size diamond, leveraging microwave energy to induce plasma from a $\mathrm{H}_{2} / ...
At the Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology in Xian, Shaanxi province, sits an unremarkable-looking device called the TPG1000Cs. It could become Starlink’s worst nightmare. The TPG1000Cs is the ...
Being more efficient and more powerful than chemical rockets, plasma engines are seen as the future of human spaceflight. While NASA-backed plasma rocket projects aim for travel times to Mars be just ...
