Strong magnetic fields change how friction works in plasma

August 17, 2021

These images show the trajectories of an electron in the plasma (blue) and an ion (red) passing through the plasma. In (g), the electron starts on the right of the ion’s path, whereas in (h) it starts on the left. Because the electrons in a strongly magnetized plasma behave differently depending on where they start relative to the ion, they create an asymmetric drag on the moving ion, the researchers found.

Rather than just slowing down a charged particle moving through a plasma, friction can also push from the side in a strong magnetic field.
