Atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) is a novel non-thermal technology which increases shelf-life of food. The aim of this research to evaluate the effects of ACP treatment on antioxidant activity (AOA), ...

You likely remember plasma from science class, where you were taught that it’s the fourth state of matter (along with solid, liquid and gas), and that it has something to do with the sun and lightning ...

Using plasma—the stuff of outer space—University of Alberta researchers have found an effective way to decontaminate grain tainted by mold and also boost seed germination. Their study is published in ...

Cold plasma has captured scientists’ imagination in almost every field, and food safety is no exception. The USDA and consumer groups continue to fund cold plasma research, and the results are ...

The same substance that paints the sky with the Northern Lights also appears to enhance plant growth and insect defense, according to a new study. Food science and entomology researchers from the ...

Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) have collaborated with partners at Greifswald University Hospital and University Medical Center Rostock to demonstrate that ...

Cold plasma, a partially ionized gas generated under atmospheric or reduced pressure and maintained at near-ambient temperatures, has emerged as a versatile non-thermal technology for altering protein ...

Researchers are testing a cold plasma microbubble system that treats food-processing wastewater and increases available ...

Cold plasma devices are increasingly used across surgical procedures, including skin rejuvenation, scar remodeling, liposuction and diabetic wounds. A recent study from Thomas Jefferson University ...

Cleaning up cancer cells: Richard Wirz and colleagues are developing a portable cold atmospheric plasma device for postsurgical cancer treatment. (Courtesy: Richard Wirz) Chemotherapy and radiotherapy ...

A machine acquired by Mahfuzur Rahman, University of Arkansas assistant professor of food science, is used to treat rice seeds with cold plasma for a study examining its effects on plant growth and ...
