• What is Plasma?

Plasma is a gas of electrons and ions. It is formed when the temperature reaches around  20,000 K (~ 1 eV), causing matter to undergo ionization, transitioning into its fourth state of matter. What makes plasma remarkable is its composition of charged particles, resulting in intricate reactions to electromagnetic fields. This characteristic enables the manipulation of plasma using various electromagnetic fields such as lasers, microwaves or RF, X-rays, and more, paving the way for myriads of fascinating applications.
