A team of researchers from Ireland report on the mechanisms of how atmospheric cold plasma (APC) improves the germination of seeds.
Plasma Processes and Polymers
Cold Atmospheric Plasma Fighting Infections
German researchers tested the efficacy of cold atmospheric plasma in the inactivation and removal of infections.
New Plasma Sponge For Oil Spill Cleanups
A team of Argentinian researchers developed a superhydrophobic and oleophilic carbonaceous nanosponge (CN) with high adsorption capacity for selective oil removal from water which could be used in case of oil spills.
Plasma and Pills Together Combat Pancreatic Tumors
Chinese researchers combined a glow‐like helium atmospheric pressure plasma jet with clinical antitumor drug‐Tegafur‐ to treat pancreatic tumor cells in vitro.
Cold Plasma To Clean Up Our Water
A team of Canadian researchers has shown that direct contact between an AP “cold” oxidizing plasma source and water that contains very high concentrations of cyanobacteria and green algae, along with associated BMAA toxin, could be quite rapidly (in minutes) decontaminated with modest energy input.
Microplasma-Synthesized Magnetic Nanoparticles in a Hydrogel
In situ synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles in a hydrogel and fabrication of a magnetic thermoresponsive hydrogel composite.
A Bright Sight: New Atypical Plasma Source Improves Plasma Medicine
An atypical, low‐power, atmospheric pressure plasma source for application in plasma medicine.
Wettening the Wood: Plasma Jet vs. SBD System
A German scientist team conducted a comparative study on atmospheric pressure plasma jet versus diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge treatments on wood surface properties.
Let It Flow: Plasma To Improve Lactose Production
A research team used a plasma jet‐like setup to enhance the flowability of lactose powder while in production.
Using Single Step Atmospheric‐Pressure Plasma To Fabricate Biosensors
A research team from the National Chiao Tung University in Taiwan showed that aerosol‐assisted dielectric‐barrier‐discharge atmospheric‐pressure plasma deposition can be used for depositing different kinds of protein on different biosensor substrates in a single step.
