Such regions are filled with partially ionized plasma, a mix of free charged electrons and ions and the more familiar neutral, or whole, atoms of gas. If magnetic reconnection does occur in these ...

The partially ionized plasma of the ionosphere, which ranges from about 60 to 1,000 km, can "bounce" radio signals transmitted from the Earth.This property enables them to travel long distances ...

Quantum field theories are powerful tools for particle physics and condensed matter physics but are rarely used in plasma physics. However, in warm-dense regimes, where matter is partially ionized and ...

The work is based on plasma technology, a partially ionized gas often referred to as the fourth state of matter. Although there are natural plasmas, such as lightning and the Northern Lights ...

The technology relies on nonequilibrium plasma, or partially ionized gas, that produces chemical reactions to change the properties at the material surface. The different temperature levels within ...

Researchers have attempted to use cold atmospheric-pressure plasma — a partially ionized gas with a proportion of charged particles close to 1 percent and a temperature of 99,726°C (179,540ºF ...
