Showing results for "Plasma" in Science & Engineering

Histories of science in the 20th century have focused on relativity and quantum mechanics. But, quietly in the background, there has been a third area of exploration that has equally important implications for our understanding of the universe. It is unknown to the general public, despite the fact that many Nobel prize winners, senior academics and major research centres around the world have been devoted to it - it is the study of plasma.

The purpose of this audiobook is to introduce the reader to many of the applications of the plasma arc. The applications are almost endless and it is one of the emerging technologies of tomorrow.

This is a podcast about plasma donation. As a plasma donor, your contribution to the health and well-being of patients who rely on plasma-derived therapies is invaluable. Plasma saves and improves the lives of people with chronic diseases such as primary immune deficiency, hemophilia, and COVID-19—related conditions. In addition to treating these conditions, plasma is used in emergencies to treat people with burns and other trauma-related injuries. When you donate plasma, you give the gift of life. We sit down with people from all walks of life to have real conversations.

"Charged Conversations" dives into cutting-edge research from the world of fundamental plasma science. In this series, we’re spotlighting the latest groundbreaking publications emerging from UCLA’s Basic Plasma Science Facility — one of the world’s premier hubs for plasma physics experimentation. In each episode, we’ll distill complex findings into simple, engaging insights, connecting science to the world around us.
