The properties of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJs) make them suitable for industrial and biomedical applications. They show many advantages when it comes to local precise surface treatments, there is interest in upgrading their performance irradiation on large areas uneven surfaces. generation charged species (electrons ions) reactive (radicals), together with emitted UV pho...

Researchers have demonstrated that an ultracold neutral plasma can be magnetically confined, paving the way toward experiments simulate its hot astrophysical counterparts.

Cold plasma (CP) is an effective strategy to alter the limitations of biopolymer materials for food packaging applications. Biopolymers such as polysaccharides and proteins are known be sustainable with excellent film-forming properties. Bio-based films can used alternative traditional plastic packaging. There hydrophobicity, poor barrier, thermos-mechanical For this reason, biopolymers must mo...

This study reports the potential of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) as a versatile tool for delivering oligonucleotides into mammalian cells. Compared to lipofection and electroporation methods, plasma transfection showed a better uptake efficiency and less cell death in the transfection of oligonucleotides. We demonstrated that the level of extracellular aqueous reactive oxygen species (ROS) pro...

[1] We previously developed a method for inferring plasma sheet ion temperature and density from ionospheric observations. Using this method and DMSP observations for 1992, we present 2D profiles of the equatorial plasma sheet ion density and temperature for southward and northward IMF for b2i > 64 or Kp < 3. During periods of northward IMF, cold dense ions can be found plentifully along the pl...

Cold plasma discharges have been shown to have medically-relevant therapeutic effects when applied to living tissues, including blood coagulation and wound healing; thus, plasma treatment of infl amed tissues in ulcerative colitis disease may be an effective approach to reduce adverse consequences if not cure the disease. Here we discuss results of the fi rst experimental study of cold plasma t...
