Not all types of plasma are equivalent. The difference between some naturally occurring plasmas can be quite distinct. For example, a lightning bolt contains an apparently high density of electrons, ...

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) involves a laser ablation procedure, where a laser pulse interacts with a material surface to induce the formation of a plasma plume that expands away from the surface.

Plasma surface activation of PTFE tubing promotes adhesive bonding to hubs and connectors, enhances uniform adhesion of biocompatible coatings, and enables solid and permanent ink marking.
