Low-temperature plasmas explained

Low-temperature plasmas are strongly non-equilibrium systems generating an exotic physical and chemical environment through free electrons at low gas temperatures. This unique environment allows the treatment of temperature-sensitive materials with atomic and molecular precision. Plasma technologies underpin many high-end industries.
