Riassunto

The complexity of plasma physics makes it a difficult subject to write about in popular terms, but in The Fourth State of Matter, plasma is treated in a comprehensible language. Here the authors have combined factual substance with an easy-to-read and lucid presentation to describe plasma, its distribution in the Universe and how it is used by man. Plasma physics may hold the key to a virtually inexhaustible future energy source through the control of thermonuclear reactions. Plasma in industry is explored and present, and possible future, applications are described. A separate chapter details the history of plasma research and plasma technology.
