Igniting Plasmas in Liquid

The ignition of plasma under water. Credit: © Damian GorczanyPhysicists of Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) have taken amazing pictures that allow the ignition process of plasma underwater to be observed and also tracked in real-time. Dr. Katharina Grosse has given the first data collections with the ultra-high temporal resolution, backing a new theory on igniting...
