Low-temperature plasma device may lead to more efficient engines – Phys.org

Low-temperature plasmas offer promise for applications in medicine, water purification, agriculture, pollutant removal, nanomaterial synthesis and more. Yet making these plasmas by conventional methods takes several thousand volts of electricity, says David Go, an aerospace and mechanical engineer at the University of Notre Dame. That limits their use outside high-voltage power settings.
In work supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, Go and a team of researchers conducted research t…
