Plasma ‘pens’ integrated into production lines provide targeted plasma treatments that reduce failure rates by improving adhesion and bonding of chemical adhesives, printing inks, and coatings.

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

In middle and high school, most people learn about the three states of matter we interact with in our everyday lives: solid, liquid and gas. Some students may have even been introduced to the idea of ...

Plasma, considered the fourth state of matter, is a staple of science education as well as research. It is essentially superheated or ionized matter in which the electrons are torn away from an atom, ...

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 ...

Only recently have scientists realized that most of the universe is neither gaseous, liquid or solid. It is plasma, a lively, tricky, often dangerous state of matter whose distinctive characteristic ...

A grape, sliced nearly in half and placed in a household microwave, can produce a bright flash of plasma, the same high-energy state of matter found in lightning bolts and the surface of the sun. For ...

Dr. Jeremiah Williams, Wittenburg University professor of physics; Physics Division, National Science Foundation In nature, matter naturally exists in one of four states. The most common (and least ...
