Understanding fast transient discharges and how they interact with targets of different types
Our team researches non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasmas and their interaction with various substrates for applications on sensitive targets. These plasmas generate extreme conditions such as high electric fields, high charge density and high density of chemically active species. However, the high speed at which they develop and their short lifetime measured in nanoseconds make them applicable to sensitive targets including living tissue. This has created a revolution in e.g. medicine, where plasmas of this type are researched for their antimicrobial properties as well as usage against cancer.
