Abstract:

Plasma is an essential stage in the process of formation of matter from elementary particles up to condensed matter. Plasma science is a rapidly growing research field with its natural connections from ultrashort scale nanoscience to gigantic scales of astrophysics. The technological applications of plasma science have been ingenious and its influence on scientific progress is significant. That is why the fascinating paradigm of many-body (plasma) physics in classical, as well as quantum mechanical regimes is on the forefront of research nowadays. This article aims to overview the main features of this versatile field with description of its potential technological applications and future promises. It will also help to understand the main reasons of growing interest in plasma science and provide motivation to students to opt it as a future research area. inter-disciplinary.
