  2. Plasma (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_(physics)

    Impermeable plasma is a type of thermal plasma which acts like an impermeable solid with respect to gas or cold plasma and can be physically pushed. Interaction of cold gas and thermal plasma was briefly studied by a group led by Hannes Alfvén in 1960s and 1970s for its possible applications in insulation of fusion plasma from the reactor ...

  3. Plasmasphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmasphere

    The plasma of the magnetosphere has many different levels of temperature and concentration. The coldest magnetospheric plasma is most often found in the plasmasphere. However, plasma from the plasmasphere can be detected throughout the magnetosphere because it gets blown around by the Earth's electric and magnetic fields.

  4. Plasma tubes above Earth discovered by student after ... - AOL

    www.aol.com/news/2015-06-04-plasma-tubes-above...

    For the first time, after decades of speculation, the existence of plasma tubes in the Earth's atmosphere has been confirmed. The discovery was made by Cleo Loi, a 23-year old student of ...

  5. State of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter

    The plasma state is often misunderstood, and although not freely existing under normal conditions on Earth, it is quite commonly generated by either lightning, electric sparks, fluorescent lights, neon lights or in plasma televisions. The Sun's corona, some types of flame, and stars are all examples of illuminated matter in the plasma state.

  6. Polar wind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_wind

    The faint yellow area shown above the north pole represents gas lost from Earth into space; the green area is the aurora borealis—or plasma energy pouring back into the atmosphere. [ 1 ] The polar wind or plasma fountain is a permanent outflow of plasma from the polar regions of Earth's magnetosphere .

  7. Nonthermal plasma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonthermal_plasma

    The catalyst can positively influence the plasma and vice versa resulting in an output that cannot be obtained using each process individually. The synergy that is established is ascribed to different cross effects. [42] [43] [38] [44] [45] Plasma effects on catalyst: Change in the physiochemical properties. Plasma change the adsorption ...

  8. Why climate change could make some places colder

    As much of the Northern Hemisphere continues to bake in a year of unprecedented heat waves linked to climate change, one paradoxical consequence of rising global temperatures is that some areas of ...

  9. Plasma cosmology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_cosmology

    Comparison of the evolution of the universe under Alfvén–Klein cosmology and the Big Bang theory. [1]Plasma cosmology is a non-standard cosmology whose central postulate is that the dynamics of ionized gases and plasmas play important, if not dominant, roles in the physics of the universe at interstellar and intergalactic scales.
