16th International Conference on Plasma Surface Engineering
I look forward to attending the next PSE in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in southern Germany. It is a great conference for plasma treatment and given that Germany is one of the leading countries in plasma technology it is always exciting to attend. The fact the beer is great is icing on the cake. Mike B Hopkins, Impedans 16th …

Plasma silver bullet
Plasma can destroy germs while preserving cells. They also seem to provide stimulus to healing by encouraging oxidization and activating cell defense mechanism. Plasma is normally thought to be hot like the sun but in reality only the electrons need to be hot. The electrons are only .01% of the mass of the material. It …
Phase shifted harmonics for RF bias
An interesting paper from Thomas Mussenbrock's Lab using a phase shifted harmonic of the source bias in an inductive discharge to drive the bias electrode. Their work shows that there is a synchronization of the bias field and inductive field that enhances power efficiency. It seems clear to me that the source power needs to …
Global Plasma Etching Equipment Market

Plasma Control
More than 400 scientists from around the world will convene at Princeton University to discuss the state of research on how plasma-material interactions can be managed so fusion reactions – the same reactions that occur in the Sun and stars – can produce virtually unlimited energy on Earth in what could be called “a star …
The answer is blowing in the plasma wind
Flows with speeds over 140,000 Km/Hour a thousand time faster than a hurricane can flow on the inside of a plasma device. These winds are driven by very strong magnetic and electrical fields inside the plasma. Controlling the wind speed is very important in fusion plasma, when these flows are traveling too fast, or if …
Quantum Sensors – Recent Report
Quantum Sensors - Recent Report Quantum sensors offer the possibility of very precise measurement with much higher precision than classical systems. I must admit I have spent my life searching for the signal in very noisy backgrounds in order to get the crucial advantage in a measurement system. Impedans Ltd, are world leaders in Plasma …
Pulsed Plasma Diagnostics Workshop, Early Registration Deadline Extended
I am delighted to be involved with this small, but exciting meeting being held here in Dublin on the 6th and 7th of September. I published a number of papers in the 1990's on pulsed plasmas, including a letter in Phys Rev Letters on efficient negative ions sources using modulated RF plasmas. The idea of …

Why Lawrenceville Plasma Physics Results are Not Even Wrong; a Detailed Analysis.
A while back, I responded to a claim from Lawrenceville Plasma Physics that they were close to a commercial fusion reactor. I was annoyed that such claims were being made and even more concerned that such claims were not receiving a strong criticism from the scientific community. I read the paper published in the journal - …
