For the first time, physicists, biologists and physicians demonstrated the synergistic effect of cold atmospheric plasma - a partly ionized gas - and chemo therapy on aggressive brain tumor cells.

Cold plasma, otherwise known as nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma, is "a technology that can be used to treat a wide range of dermatologic conditions," according to one study. These ...

Producing cold plasma at atmospheric pressure enables its direct application to living tissue, where it is able to selectively inactivate or kill microorganisms without damaging or heating ...

This includes cold atmospheric plasma (ACP), an advanced technology that can change the state of the environment. What is ACP and why should we care? It's futuristic, isn't it? However ...

In this study, they proposed the sequential use of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) and plasma activated water (PAW) to inactivate two kinds of typical fungus (Saccharomyces cerevisiae and ...

Cold atmospheric plasma, or CAP for short, has already proven to successfully inactivate bacteria, fungi, viruses and spores, while healthy tissue remains largely unaffected.
