Plasmoids appear to be plasma cylinders elongated in the direction of the magnetic field. Plasmoids possess a measurable magnetic moment, a measurable translational speed, a transverse electric field, and a measurable size. Plasmoids can interact with each other, seemingly by reflecting off one another.

2015年6月1日 · Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have for the first time simulated the formation of structures called "plasmoids" during Coaxial Helicity...

2024年7月29日 · Scientists at PPPL have created a machine learning program to identify space plasma formations called plasmoids, aiming to better understand and manage the impacts of magnetic reconnection on satellites and power systems.

2024年12月19日 · Plasmoids, as coherent structures of plasma and attractive fields, have intrigued scientists for decades. The term “plasmoids meaning” was coined in 1956 by Winston H. Bostick to describe a “plasma-magnetic entity.” These formations are not mere blobs of plasma but often take toroidal shapes.

2022年11月13日 · Plasmoids are doughnut or toroidal shaped clusters of net Protons or net Electrons that once captured and placed into a Toroidal orbit are capable of absorbing, storing, and releasing enormous amounts of energy present within their self-generated and structured electro magnetic containment field.

2018年4月1日 · Plasmoids, overdense blobs of plasma containing magnetic fields and high-energy particles, are a self-consistent outcome of the reconnection process in the relativistic regime.

2024年5月28日 · Plasmoids are coherent structures of plasma, magnetically encapsulated, that can form in environments where magnetic reconnection—a process in which magnetic field lines from different magnetic domains are spliced together, releasing a tremendous amount of energy—occurs.

"Plasmoids" are plasma structures that propagate as recognizable entities through a background plasma. Satellite data suggest that plasmoids may Next: Dynamo Action.
