Plasma is the fourth state of matter, after solids, liquids, and gases. It is a collection of charged particles, called ions and electrons. Plasma is found in stars, such as the Sun, and in other celestial objects. It is also found in laboratory plasmas, which are used for a variety of purposes, such as plasma displays and plasma processing.
What is Plasma Physics?
Plasma physics is the study of plasma, its properties, and behavior. It is a branch of physics that has been studied for over a century, and it has applications in many different fields, such as astrophysics, thermonuclear fusion, and plasma processing.
