Plasma physics

Unfortunately, I did not yet find time to fill this page with really useful information. Let me just give you one hint: People seem to be more interested in medicine than in physics, and this seems to be why many people believe plasma has something to do with blood. In physics, however, plasma is a state of matter, just like the solid, fluid and gaseous state. A very short definition: A plasma is a hot ionized gas.
Having said that, this definition is not very precise, but much better than believing I'm working on blood. Maybe one example: Inside the tubular lamps, you have a plasma emitting light, when they are switched on.

OK, let me give you a few links to plasma physics related stuff.
