Hypersonic missiles generate plasma that can interfere with radar detection. This research uses open-source, physics-based simulations to model plasma formation efficiently. Results show plasma usually has little effect on radar, but when it does, the method provides industry with a fast, cost-effective way to design improved radar systems for missile detection.

This research improves aviation efficiency by using tiny vortex generators to control turbulent airflow over airplane wings. These structures reduce drag, save fuel, and cut carbon emissions—potentially eliminating 600,000 tons of CO₂ annually. It's a small aerodynamic change with a massive global impact for greener, more sustainable air travel.
