A group of scientists has developed special CO2-derived carbon nanotubes that can generate sustained plasma almost instantly ...

Neon bulbs work on the principle of voltage-induced ionization, creating a visible glowing plasma. If the applied voltage is high enough, around 60 to 80 V, electrons get knocked off the neutral ...

A wine bottle is used as a vacuum chamber and a 9kv neon transformer is attached to ... the electric arc intensifies into a pretty solid plasma filling the space between the two contacts.

Plasma displays were similar to the way neon signs work combined with the phosphors of a CRT. In fact, a plasma screen was like having a miniature CRT for each pixel (see CRT). THIS DEFINITION IS ...

Lightning is actually a flash of plasma. And the glowing colors of neon signs are created by plasma and so is the light inside a fluorescent bulb. For more information about states of matter ...

and neon gas. They energized the gas to put it in a plasma state. Ultraviolet light from the plasma then activated phosphors on the monitor, resulting in a more vibrant presentation than the then ...
