Division of Plasma Physics

Division of Plasma Physics is a specialized branch of physics focused on studying plasmas—the fourth state of matter consisting of ionized gases with free-moving electrons and ions. It explores how plasmas behave, interact with magnetic and electric fields, and their applications in areas like nuclear fusion, space science, and industrial processes. Researchers develop theoretical models, conduct experiments, and create technologies related to plasma control and utilization. This division advances our understanding of natural phenomena such as solar activity and helps develop innovative solutions for energy production, space exploration, and advanced manufacturing.
