Plasma physics: Cool vibes
Thomas C. Killian1
Abstract
Ultracold plasmas blur the classical boundaries between the different states of matter. Newly observed electron-density waves could become useful probes of how electrons behave in this exotic regime.
The complex soups of ions and electrons known as plasmas are ubiquitous in nature, whether in a simple flame, the aurora borealis, the Sun or elsewhere. They are also crucial for technologies such as fluorescent lighting, or for plasma processing in microelectronics.
