Cold plasma treatment is also used for modifying wood surfaces, enhancing glue adhesion, and facilitating the deposition of thin polymeric layers on metal surfaces. The ionized particles in plasma ...

"This enables rigorous testing of plasma-facing materials critical for fusion devices, which aim to replicate the sun's nuclear fusion process using abundant substances from seawater to generate ...

A joint research team with the U.S. has developed a core technology for commercializing nuclear fusion energy. The Ministry ...

A NASA spacecraft watching the sun has caught a dazzling view of a solar eruption that launched a vast tendril of magnetic plasma into space. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the sun ...

This creates plasma—an energetic slurry of positive ions and negatively charged free electrons—which needs to be heated even more, until it reaches temperatures over 180 million degrees Fahrenheit ...

Plasma is delicate and ephemeral — it can’t even be seen until it’s cooled. And that’s what makes it so safe; it can be turned off, so to speak, as easily as blowing a candle.
