Plasma coils? No.

But how about plasma engines?

MSN

Scientists at Rosatom have unveiled a plasma electric rocket engine that is claimed to be capable of propelling spacecraft to Mars in just one to two months.

As reported by Russia’s Izvestia newspaper, unlike traditional rocket engines that rely on fuel combustion, this innovative propulsion system utilizes a magnetic plasma accelerator and promises to significantly reduce interplanetary travel time.

“A plasma rocket motor is a type of electric motor. It is based on two electrodes. Charged particles are passed between them, and at the same time a high voltage is applied to the electrodes,” Egor Biriulin, a junior researcher at Rosatom’s scientific institute in Troitsk, told Izvestia.

“As a result, the current creates a magnetic field that pushes the particles out of the engine. Thus, the plasma receives directional motion and creates thrust.”

Plasma propulsion offers unprecedented speeds​

Under this approach, hydrogen is used as fuel, and the engine accelerates charged particles – electrons and protons – to a speed of 100 km/s (62 miles/s).

“In traditional power units, the maximum velocity of matter flow is about 4.5 km/s, which is due to the conditions of fuel combustion. In contrast, in our engine, the working body is charged particles that are accelerated by an electromagnetic field,” said Alexei Voronov, first deputy general director for science at the Troitsk Institute, as reported by Izvestia.

They turned light into a solid. Well a supersolid, but a solid nonetheless.

MSN

An odd solid that can flow like a fluid has been created from light for the first time. Studying it will help researchers better understand exotic quantum states of matter.

“We actually made light into a solid. That's pretty awesome,” says Dimitris Trypogeorgos at the National Research Council (CNR) in Italy. He notes Daniele Sanvitto, also at CNR, showed how light could become a fluid more than a decade ago. Now Trypogeorgos, Sanvitto and their colleagues have used light to make not just any solid, but a quantum “supersolid”.

Quantum time travel: The experiment to 'send a particle into the past'

Supersolids simultaneously have zero viscosity and a crystal-like structure akin to the arrangement of atoms in salt crystals. These strange materials have no counterpart outside of the quantum realm. Because of this, they have previously only been created in experiments with atoms cooled to extremely low temperatures, where otherwise negligible quantum effects become dominant.

But in this experiment, the researchers replaced ultracold atoms with the semiconductor aluminium gallium arsenide and a laser.

They shone the laser onto a small piece of the semiconductor that had a pattern of narrow ridges. Complex interactions between the light and the material eventually formed a type of hybrid particle called a polariton. The ridge pattern constrained how these “quasiparticles” could move and what energies they could have in such a way that the polaritons formed a supersolid.

Light has been transformed into a 'supersolid' for the first time

Time may be an illusion created by quantum entanglement
The true nature of time has eluded physicists for centuries, but a new theoretical model suggests it may only exist due to entanglement between quantum objects

Sanvitto says the team had to very precisely measure enough properties of this trapped and transformed light to prove it was both a solid and a fluid with no viscosity. This was a challenge because scientists had never created and experimentally evaluated a supersolid made from light before, he says.

The new experiment contributes to physicists’ general understanding of how quantum matter can change its state by going through a phase transition, says Alberto Bramati at Sorbonne University in France. The team clearly demonstrated they made a supersolid, but many more measurements need to be done to understand its properties, he says.

Trypogeorgos says light-based supersolids may be easier to manipulate than those previously created with atoms, which could make his team’s experiment a first step towards understanding a slew of novel and surprising types of matter.

“We are really at the beginning of something new,” he says.

One step closer to shuttlecrafts.

MSN

Dr. Charles Buhler, a veteran NASA engineer and co-founder of Exodus Propulsion Technologies, has revealed a startling breakthrough. His team’s propellantless propulsion drive has successfully countered Earth’s gravity, challenging long-standing principles of physics.

With decades of experience on projects like the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station, Buhler sees this as a game-changer for space travel. He believes their discovery could reshape propulsion technology for generations.

“The most important message to convey to the public is that a major discovery occurred,” he said, underscoring the significance of their findings.

Their innovation, harnessing electric fields to generate sustainable thrust without expelling mass, represents a paradigm shift in propulsion physics.

Their system generates thrust using electric fields rather than expelling mass, a radical departure from traditional propulsion. If scalable, this technology could revolutionize how objects move through space, extending exploration far beyond current limits.

Buhler and his team presented their work at the Alternative Propulsion Energy Conference (APEC), where they detailed the years of experimentation behind the discovery. Initial skepticism did not deter them. Instead, they turned to electrostatics—a field where Buhler is a recognized expert—to explore new possibilities.

Collaboration played a key role in their success. Experts from top institutions and industries contributed insights, pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible.

Over a span of decades, the team meticulously conducted experiments, culminating in their propellantless propulsion drive.

Through iterative refinement and rigorous testing, they achieved thrust measurements exceeding previous limits. Notably, their latest iteration exhibited a remarkable feat: generating thrust equivalent to one Earth gravity, a milestone in their quest.

Detailing their methodology, Dr. Buhler explained the significance of their tests conducted in a custom-made vacuum chamber simulating deep space conditions. These experiments validated their propulsion drive's efficacy, eliminating alternative explanations and solidifying their patent.

Next decade as in 5 years or 2030?

or next decade in like the next 10 years and 2035?

Cuz a nicca ain’t got all day to be waiting for some Star Fleet futuristic shyt.

Another step forward in a sci-fi future. Holograms are now manipulable.

MSN

A team of researchers from the Public University of Navarra (UPNA) has made a breakthrough in holographic technology.

Led by Doctor Elodie Bouzbib and including Iosune Sarasate, Unai Fernández, Manuel López-Amo, Iván Fernández, Iñigo Ezcurdia, and Asier Marzo, the group has successfully created three-dimensional graphics that float in mid-air—and can be touched and moved by hand.

“What we see in films and call holograms are typically volumetric displays,” said Bouzbib, the lead author of the work. “These are graphics that appear in mid-air and can be viewed from various angles without the need for wearing virtual reality glasses. They are called true-3D graphics.”

She explained that this kind of display supports the “come-and-interact” approach. “They are particularly interesting as they allow for the ‘come-and-interact’ paradigm, meaning that the users simply approach a device and start using it.”

This achievement takes things far beyond existing commercial prototypes. Companies like Voxon Photonics and Brightvox Inc. already offer volumetric displays, but those don’t let users interact directly with the floating images. This new project changes that.

Asier Marzo, the lead researcher, stated, “Direct interaction means being able to insert our hands to grab and drag virtual objects.”
