Plasma Science

The study of charged particles and fluids in the presence of electric and magnetic fields is known as plasma science. A mixture of positively and negatively charged particles that behave collectively makes up plasma. Applications of this field include accelerator physics, controlled fusion, space and astrophysics, and beam storage. Furthermore, nanotechnology and plasma physics are being coupled to produce catalytic fuel cell electrodes that require just 25 % of the platinum required by conventional electrodes. Future "green" car development is anticipated to be greatly impacted by these developments.
