Capillary discharge plasma jets are those that are created by a large current that passes through a low - density gas in what is called a capillary chamber.

When the researchers simulated the plasma jets, they found that the electrodes in the instrument — which are needed to create the electric field that makes the plasma — generate heat.

They routinely create hot plasma jets and gas bubbles that are thought to prevent the cooling of galaxies and regulate the formation of stars, which requires cold hydrogen gas as a building block.

Using high - intensity lasers at the University of Rochester's OMEGA EP Facility focused on targets smaller than a pencil's eraser, they conducted experiments to create colliding jets of plasma knotted by plasma filaments and self - generated magnetic fields.
