Numerous researchers from different departments at Ruhr University are working on plasmas and their various applications.
Cosmic rays seem to surround us everywhere. This is precisely what makes it difficult to find its sources. It would be helpful if we could trace their path through space. A new programme can help.
The new centres are being established in astronomy and religious research. In addition, a plasma research centre has been extended.
Our everyday lives are virtually inconceivable without plasmas. A special edition of Rubin provides insights into their numerous areas of application.
Martin Hoffmann explains why plasma processes are essential for microsystem technology and which opportunities they offer for eco-friendly manufacturing methods.
Martin Muhler from the Chair of Industrial Chemistry explains in what way plasmas are likely to affect chemical reactions in future.
Julia Bandow, Professor for Applied Microbiology, discusses the future use of plasmas in biological applications.
Researchers calculate in minute detail the processes in plasmas and at the interfaces between plasmas and surfaces. This is how they hope to understand the processes involved and make better use of them in the future.
Uwe Czarnetzki from the Chair of Experimental Physics explains what plasmas can already do and what they are likely to facilitate in the future.
A spherical probe allows the electron density in plasmas to be continuously monitored and, consequently, kept constant.
Thomas Mussenbrock explains how computer simulations of plasmas can aid the production of smaller and more powerful processors and memories in the future.
Generating a plasma is not that difficult. Therefore, there are countless different plasma sources in the world. As far as research is concerned, this is a problem.
Andrew Gibson from the Research Group for Biomedical Plasma Technology explains, what will be crucial to translate emerging approaches such as plasma-based cancer therapy, into clinical practice.
A great many everyday technologies would not exist without plasmas. The teams of the Collaborative Research Centres want to share knowledge about their relevance with the public.
Plasmas in liquids have long been used in water purification and wound treatment. Now, they are to improve the efficiency and service life of an electrolysis cell used for C02 conversion.
Cold plasmas and plasma catalytic processes could be used to purify and treat metallurgical gases in the steel industry.
A new technique facilitates something that Moritz Oberberg compares to looking inside an egg while it’s cooking.
Plasmas usually have destructive effects on enzymes. Here, they supply an enzyme with a building block for biocatalysis at the push of a button.
