quark-gluon plasma

QGP is a phase of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) which exists at extremely high temperature and/or density.

Do you learn something new everyday?

I do. Multiple things, daily, hourly, minute by minute.

Use quark-gluon plasma in a sentence:

It was so hot this summer my blood became something akin to that wacky quark-gluon plasma.

Quark-gluon plasma, not just a phase of quantum chromodynamics anymore.

Ya hot for? I am.

Who isn't hot for Low Conductivity Thermal Barrier Coating?

That is all.

engage photonic laser thruster!

Young Bae's photonic laser thruster sounds promising. A PLT-powered spacecraft could theoretically push a rocket ship faster than 62 miles per second, allowing a journey to Mars in less than a week.

Bae’s PLT places a laser within a resonant optical cavity to produce stable and reliable thrust, the perfect jive for spacecraft control or propulsion.

Bae will be a presenter at The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) SPACE 2007 Conference & Exposition September 18-20 in Long Beach, California. The line up: Space Transportation Systems, Promising Space Concepts from the NASA Institute of Advanced Concepts (NIAC), Space Systems for the Next 50 Years and Advanced Vehicle Systems.

Wish I could go.
