Towards a microscopic understanding of the transfer of the plasma’s electronic non-equilibrium to a solid.
Plasma physics
New data on self-organisation in magnetised plasmas
We thought we understood magnetron plasmas, but the discovery of spokes shows that we did not!
Bienvenue à Montréal: JPhysD at ISPC23
We’re at the 23rd International Symposium on Plasma Chemistry – come say hi!
An interview with Emerging Leader Endre Szili
“I am hoping that there will be an even higher level of cooperation and collaboration amongst researchers and clinicians in this field, leading to larger, multi-centre clinical trials of plasma in wound decontamination/healing and cancer therapy.”
Introducing the JPhysD Roadmap programme
Take a look at our JPhysD Roadmap programme. This collection aims to bring together some of the leading voices in the most exciting areas in the physical sciences. Unique to IOP Publishing, these articles are written collaboratively by leading researchers… Read More ›
A better approach for biofilm-control: atmospheric-pressure He/O2 plasma jet
Could atmospheric-pressure plasma become the main management to control biofilm related disease in the future?
Top 5 Most Read in 2016
We look back at the articles which were most popular with our readers in the last 12 months.
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 ›

Roadmap Reviews: a success story
Back in 2012, the Editorial Board of JPhysD had an idea for a brand new article type: a Roadmap Review. Of course, in several communities, the idea of a roadmap – a perspective article looking at past and future developments… Read More ›
Understanding the cold plasma-stimulated medium for cancer treatment: a novel perspective
“We hope cold plasma could become a clinical anti-cancer tool in the near future, and we are ready to accelerate such a process.”
