My project on Physics is Plasma

Plasma is one of the four states of matter. It comprises the major components of the sun. Plasma is also a gas in which an important fraction of the atoms is ionized, so that the electrons and ions are separately free.

The a plasma globe is use to study plasma and electric discharge. The secret to the plasma globe is by the Tesla coil, which makes a large amount potential difference between it and the glass around it. If you place your hand on the glass the electric discharge will follow it, that's because like Earth's lightning they are attracted to objects on the ground(conductors) and causes the temperature to increase.

Plasma has come from fusion power, this sort of matter has also have some similar aspects to other energy like steam energy. Plasma from a super storm connects with Earth's magnetosphere can cause auroras, cause problems with electronic devices like laptops, wireless communications, etc.

My level III PBL science project is about plasma. Plasma is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, liquid, and gas). It comprises the major component of the Sun. Heating a gas may ionize its molecules or atoms (reducing or increasing the number of electrons in them), thus turning it into a plasma, which contains charged particles: positive ions and negative electrons or ions. Ionization can be induced by other means, such as strong electromagnetic field applied with a laser or microwave generator, and is accompanied by the dissociation of molecular bonds, if present. Plasma can also be created by the application of an electric field on a gas, where the underlying process is the Townsend avalanche.

The presence of a non-negligible number of charge carriers makes the plasma electrically conductive so that it responds strongly to electromagnetic fields. Plasma, therefore, has properties quite unlike those of solids, liquids, or gases and is considered a distinct state of matter. Like gas, plasma does not have a definite shape or a definite volume unless enclosed in a container; unlike gas, under the influence of a magnetic field, it may form structures such as filaments, beams and double layers. Some common plasma are found in stars and neon signs. In the universe, plasma is the most common state of matter for ordinary matter, most of which is in the rarefied intergalactic plasma (particularly intracluster medium) and in stars. Much of the understanding of plasma has come from the pursuit of controlled nuclear fusion and fusion power, for which plasma physics provides the scientific basis.

Immunoglobulins

Used in the treatment of immunological disorders, such as congenital and acquired primary immune deficiency as well as many diseases that strike healthy people due to some change in the body’s defense system.

Coagulation

Therapies Used in treatment of bleeding disorders, including hemophilia and von Willebrand disease.

Critical Care Products

Used in critical care settings for treatment of shock and burns, during surgery, and for fluid replacement therapy.

Wound Healing

Used in surgery and the treatment of wounds to facilitate healing.

Respiratory

Used in the treatment of alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency (A genetic condition resulting in liver and lung failure).
