Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

Scientists are using non-thermal plasma to produce fertiliser and long-chain hydrocarbons. Mason Wakley talks to the chemists ...

Renowned plasma scientist urges researchers and institutions to focus on scalable applications of plasma-based technologies to drive innovation in aerospace, energy, and industry. LAFAYETTE, IN / ...

A team of South Korean researchers has delivered experimental proof of "multi-scale coupling" in plasma, demonstrating how microscopic events can lead to big changes in this state of matter, ...

When a gas is highly energized, its electrons get torn from the parent atoms, resulting in a plasma—the oft-forgotten fourth state of matter (along with solid, liquid, and gas). When we think of ...

Highly energized gas loses electrons, forming plasma, the fourth state of matter. While we associate plasmas with heat, icy particles can coexist with them, as seen in Webb images of molecular clouds.
