Low temperature plasmas (LTPs) show promise as efficient green technologies for enhancing productivity while maintaining good food quality and safety in the many steps of the food cycle. As a result, applications of LTPs in agriculture have led to creation of a new, rapidly developing field called “plasma agriculture.”
Nanoporous Superalloy Membranes
Ni-based superalloys, hitherto utilized exclusively for high temperature applications, e.g. as turbine blades in aero engines, are used to prepare heat-resistant membranes.
