  2. Plasma (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_(physics)

    Impermeable plasma is a type of thermal plasma which acts like an impermeable solid with respect to gas or cold plasma and can be physically pushed. Interaction of cold gas and thermal plasma was briefly studied by a group led by Hannes Alfvén in 1960s and 1970s for its possible applications in insulation of fusion plasma from the reactor ...

  3. State of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter

    Artificial plasma produced in air by a Jacob's Ladder. The extremely strong potential difference between the two rods ionize particles in the air, creating a plasma. A gas is usually converted to a plasma in one of two ways, either from a huge voltage difference between two points, or by exposing it to extremely high temperatures.

  4. Blood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood

    Blood is a body fluid in the circulatory system of humans and other vertebrates that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells, and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells. [1] Blood is composed of blood cells suspended in blood plasma.

    Plasma is the fourth state of matter. Atoms and normal matter have a nucleus with orbiting electrons. In plasma, the atoms have been torn apart and the electrons ripped away.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_plasma

    Blood plasma is a light amber-colored liquid component of blood in which blood cells are absent, but which contains proteins and other constituents of whole blood in suspension. It makes up about 55% of the body's total blood volume. [1] It is the intravascular part of extracellular fluid (all body fluid outside cells).

    Blood plasma, the yellow-colored liquid component of blood, in which blood cells are suspended; Cytoplasm, a jelly-like substance that fills cells, suspends and protects organelles; Germ plasm, a zone in the cytoplasm determining germ cells; Germplasm, a collection of genetic resources for an organism

  9. Plasmon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmon

    In physics, a plasmon is a quantum of plasma oscillation.Just as light (an optical oscillation) consists of photons, the plasma oscillation consists of plasmons.The plasmon can be considered as a quasiparticle since it arises from the quantization of plasma oscillations, just like phonons are quantizations of mechanical vibrations.
