Which chemicals are best degraded by electrical plasmas?
Treatability of different chemical contaminants can be estimated simply by evaluating the extent to which they resemble a surfactant.
Image of the Week
This week our image of the week comes from a Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics Topical Review looking at the modelling of turbulence in thermal plasma flows. Such modelling is vital to realise the full usage of these flows across… Read More ›
Fluid modeling of Resistive Plate Chambers
The impact of transport data on development of streamers and induced signals
Image of the Week
Our Image of the Week this week comes from a Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics Letter. In their letter Wei-Chen Tu et al investigate the use of three methods to increase the efficiency of textured Silicon solar cells: reduced graphene oxide (rGO), gold nanoparticles… Read More ›
Cell Fate in a High-Gradient Magnetic Field
As the field of nanomedicine grows, knowledge of the interactions between magnetic fields and living cells is of increasing importance. In a recent Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics article Vitalii Zablotskii et al. reviewed current research into the impact of high-gradient magnetic… Read More ›
The 2016 oxide electronic materials and oxide interfaces roadmap
Oxide materials are of ever growing importance for a wide range of applications. We take a look at the Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics 2016 oxide electronics roadmap with Michael Lorenz and MSR Ramachandra Rao.
Image of the Week: Pilot system development in metre-scale laboratory discharge
This week’s Image of the Week is taken from a recent Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics article using nanosecond photography to investigate metre-scale negative laboratory discharges. The study of laboratory discharges suggests there are similarities between such discharges and… Read More ›
Bactericidal plasma-treated water formed with nitrogen
Peroxynitric acid formed in water by plasma exposure is a key molecule for bactericidal effect.
