01

Plasma

A plasma is an ionized medium in which collective electromagnetic interactions can dominate individual-particle behavior.

02

Magnetic Confinement

Magnetic fields can influence charged-particle trajectories and are used in experimental approaches to confine hot plasma for fusion research.

03

Space Plasmas

The solar wind, planetary magnetospheres, stellar atmospheres, and many astrophysical environments are dominated by plasma processes.
