Outline of Final Research Achievements

Plasma consists of a variety of reactive species (ions, electrons, radicals and emitting photons). In discharge plasmas, these reactive species are generated via ionization and dissociation of gaseous molecules through collisions with accelerated electrons. Due to enhanced reactivity of these reactive species, plasma are indispensable as key manufacturing technology for advanced industries and eventually have taken a role as core technology to support the state-of-the-art advancement of scientific frontiers. This project led the worldwide research activities, and created the field "Plasma Medical Innovation". A key significance of this study is to establish unique schemes to evolve the interdisciplinary field of plasma science, medical science and molecular biology.
