Researchers have demonstrated that an ultracold neutral plasma can be magnetically confined, paving the way toward experiments that simulate its hot astrophysical counterparts.

Ultracold neutral plasmas (UCNPs) offer a controllable platform for studying phenomena not seen in their hotter cousins. But their lack of overall electrical charge makes neutral plasmas difficult to confine and manipulate. Now, Grant Gorman of Rice University, Texas, and colleagues have trapped a UCNP using magnetic fields [1]. Their technique could allow experiments that simulate the solar wind or aspects of white dwarf stars.
the victims. we may be able to connect some of the burglaries that are really just linked to him based upon mo. reporter: and we re learning more about how the alleged predator was captured. after trailing deangelo for six days, more than 15 officers watched as he worked inside his garage. then moving in, when he walked out to the sidewalk. dangelo, who was home alone, appeared surprised. really no conversation at all. just the only thing he really said was that he had a roast in the oven. reporter: tonight some neighbors saying the man now accused murdering 12 people and raping nearly 50 victims lived with family and had a temper. we used to call him freak because he used to have these tantrums out in the front. he would yell so loud that you could hear him yelling from inside the house. reporter: grant gorman claims he had multiple run-ins with deangelo. including a threatening call over his barking dog. if you don t shut that dog up, i will deliver a load of death. r
