Nanoparticle Production

Nanoparticles can be produced with non-thermal plasmas (NPTs). They can process materials that are difficult or even impossible to handle with other processing schemes, making them particularly useful for the synthesis of a wide range of materials in nanoparticle form. The nonequilibrium environment enables the synthesis of nanocrystals with excellent crystallinity and narrow size distributions.…

Electroporation

Pulsed electric fields applied to cells can increase the permeability of the cell membrane. Drugs, DNA, nanoparticles, and other chemicals can be introduced into the cell through these temporary pores in the cell membrane. This reversible electroporation requires precision control of the output voltage and pulse widths. Longer pulses and/or higher field strengths can cause…

Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jets

The APPJ has the advantage that the plasma is ejected from a device (up to several centimeters) and travels to the surface to be sterilized. Eagle Harbor Technologies (EHT), Inc. is proposing to develop a large-area APPJ for spacecraft surface sterilization. EHT will leverage the previously developed EHT nanosecond pulser, which provides unprecedented control of…
