Dr. Hai-Feng (Frank) Ji is a professor in the Department of Chemistry at Drexel University. In addition, Professor Ji is an affiliated faculty member of the College of Engineering's Department of ...

Plasma chemistry and etching processes form the backbone of modern semiconductor fabrication, enabling the precise patterning and removal of material layers essential to device performance. By ...

In industrial pipes, mineral deposits build up the way limescale collects inside a kettle ⎯ only on a far larger and more ...

A whiff of plasma, when combined with a nanosized catalyst, can cause chemical reactions to proceed faster, more selectively, at lower temperatures, or at lower voltages than without plasma. Using ...

New research has revealed a critical interaction that is occurring at this plasma-liquid interface in that the electrons in plasma actually serve to separate water, producing hydrogen gas. Though not ...

Due to the intense global impact of fossil fuel overuse on air quality and climate, the search for advanced clean energy ...

There are several mechanisms that affect a gas when using discharge plasma to initiate combustion or to stabilize a flame. There are two thermal mechanisms—the homogeneous and inhomogeneous heating of ...

ISR researchers work closely with the Air Force Research Laboratory supporting the Plasma Chemistry Laboratory and the Space Chemistry Laboratory located at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Astrochemistry plays an increasingly important role in our understanding of physics in the Universe as current and future observatories explore the molecular universe. This understanding is aided ...

2020 turns out to be a year of breakthrough for nuclear fusion. The world's largest fusion project ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) has begun its final assembly in July, over ...

Plasma, the fourth state of matter, is an ionized gas containing positive and negative ions or electrons. Nowadays various types of plasmas are used in different applications, from welding and vehicle ...
