How order arises in the cosmos

How order arises in the cosmos | Science News | Scoop.it

The surprising discovery of self-organized electromagnetic fields in counter-streaming ionized gases (also known as plasmas) will give scientists a new way to explore how order emerges from chaos in the cosmos. This breakthrough finding was published online in the journal,Nature Physics on Sept. 30.

'Painless' plasma brush is becoming reality in dentistry, engineers say | Science News | Scoop.it
University of Missouri engineers and their research collaborators at Nanova, Inc. are one step closer to a painless way to replace fillings.
Nausher Asim's curator insight, June 19, 2014 2:19 PM

University of Missouri engineers invented the "Plasma Brush" which is a painless way of delivering fillings to teeth and have a much smaller cost and more effective procedure. As of right now there isn't any negative side effects or repercussions to this procedure, so I don't see why we don't administer plasma brush fillings as of right now.

Micro-cavity arrays: Lighting the way to the future

Micro-cavity arrays: Lighting the way to the future | Science News | Scoop.it

A research team funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research has pioneered the use of micro-plasmas in a revolutionary approach to illumination. Just as in a fluorescent light, a micro-cavity array is energized by an applied voltage. By successfully confining that plasma in parallel rows of micro-cavities within thin sheet materials, Drs. Gary Eden and Sung-Jin Park of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, ultimately arrived at various implementations of micro-plasma arrays, which result in inexpensive, wafer-thin, and very flexible sheets of light.
