About this Research Topic
Plasma physics is one of the most important tools in explaining our Universe and it is extensively used in engineering, industries, and medicine to improve the standard of our living. For example, Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) attracted great attention in the last years due to its ability to generate a cocktail of high densities of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), UV, and charged particles at room temperature. This cocktail can be used in a wide range of applications such as water treatment, surface treatment, plasma medicine, plasma agriculture, materials synthesis, nanotechnology, and many other industrial applications. CAP can be used directly through local treatment or indirectly through plasma-activated water or medium, which opens the gates for many applications. As a multidisciplinary field, CAP intersects with various fields such as physics, engineering, chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and many others.
The goal of this Research Topic entitled “Plasma and related sciences: experimental and theoretical approaches”, is to collect high-quality research work related to CAP directly or indirectly through the related sciences such as the above-mentioned ones. The philosophy of this Research Topic is to bridge the gap between CAP and the related sciences together with providing the community of CAP with the most recent findings in the related sciences, which opens the door for better understanding, and hence the creation of more applications. For example, many breakthroughs have been achieved recently in fields such as chemistry, materials science, and nanotechnology and haven’t been mentioned in combination with CAP yet.
We are delighted to call for original articles and reviews related to CAP. In this Research Topic, we are aiming to spotlight the most recent work in the area of research between CAP and all other related sciences. However, we are also happy to receive articles and reviews on topics that have not used CAP but could have potential use of it in the future. Moreover, we are very happy to receive experimental and theoretical research. This Research Topic welcomes original manuscripts related to plasma chemistry, plasma medicine, space plasma, and advanced engineering material. Moreover, manuscripts devoted to materials synthesis and nanotechnology will also be taken into consideration.
