The Potential of Plasma-Assisted Combustion for Next-Generation Engines
When we think of combustion, the image that typically comes to mind involves flames fueled by a mixture of air and traditional fuels like gasoline, kerosene, or natural gas. This process has been the backbone of applications from home cooking to power plants to propulsion systems for aircraft and rockets for over a century. However, […]
Low-Temperature Plasma Science Driven by Practical Applications
Although all scientific discoveries eventually find their applications in technologies, some areas of science are driven primarily by our curiosity and our quest to understand the world we live in. However, many scientific discoveries and developments, and even entire scientific areas, are prompted directly by practical needs. The science of low-temperature plasmas and electric discharges […]
