Best Colleges in Plasma Science Program

This page introduces the top colleges in Plasma Science program. Princeton University is ranked first in Plasma Science program ranking and University of California-Los Angeles is placed in second. Next describes the Plasma Science program in general.

Plasma is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, liquid, and gas). It comprises the major component of the Sun. Heating a gas may ionize its molecules or atoms (reducing or increasing the number of electrons in them), thus turning it into a plasma, which contains charged particles: positive ions and negative electrons or ions. Ionization can be induced by other means, such as strong electromagnetic field applied with a laser or microwave generator, and is accompanied by the dissociation of molecular bonds, if present. Plasma can also be created by the application of an electric field on a gas, where the underlying process is the Townsend avalanche.[read more at wiki]
