Plasma Science

Plasma science is the study of charged particles and fluids that interact with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. Plasma is a collection of charged particles, both positive and negative, that behave in a collective manner. Space and astrophysics, controlled fusion, accelerator physics, and beam storage are all areas of applicability for this scientific subject. Plasma science is also being used in conjunction with nanotechnology to develop catalytic fuel cell electrodes that require only a quarter of the platinum required by traditional electrodes. Such advancements are anticipated to have a resonant effect on future "green" automobiles.
