Break More Bread: How Plasma Enhances Wheat Germination
A team of researchers from Ireland report on the mechanisms of how atmospheric cold plasma (APC) improves the germination of seeds.
Novel Urine Analysis Technique to Detect Cancer
A team of researchers from China combined AC and SERS technologies to develop a novel method for urinary modified nucleoside detection as a tool for cancer screening.
Cold Atmospheric Plasma Fighting Infections
German researchers tested the efficacy of cold atmospheric plasma in the inactivation and removal of infections.
‘Moses Technology’: Holmium Laser Lithotripsy Battling Urinary Stones
French scientists report on their new findings on fragments and dust after holmium laser lithotripsy with and without ‘Moses technology’ applied to urinary stones.
New Plasma Sponge For Oil Spill Cleanups
A team of Argentinian researchers developed a superhydrophobic and oleophilic carbonaceous nanosponge (CN) with high adsorption capacity for selective oil removal from water which could be used in case of oil spills.
Raman Spectroscopy Guidance System Integrated with a Brain Biopsy Needle
A team of Canadian researchers developed and clinically tested a navigation‐guided fiberoptic Raman probe that allows surgeons to interrogate brain tissue in situ at the tip of the biopsy needle prior to tissue removal.
Plasma and Pills Together Combat Pancreatic Tumors
Chinese researchers combined a glow‐like helium atmospheric pressure plasma jet with clinical antitumor drug‐Tegafur‐ to treat pancreatic tumor cells in vitro.
New Easy and Safe Method To Assess Brain Death
A team of Chinese and American researchers succesfully used near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for fast and accurate evaluation of brain death.
Cold Plasma To Clean Up Our Water
A team of Canadian researchers has shown that direct contact between an AP “cold” oxidizing plasma source and water that contains very high concentrations of cyanobacteria and green algae, along with associated BMAA toxin, could be quite rapidly (in minutes) decontaminated with modest energy input.
