Physics | Known as the "Fourth State of Matter", a plasma is a substance in which many of the atoms or molecules are effectively ionized, allowing charges to flow freely. Since some 99% of the known universe is in the plasma state and has been since the Big Bang, plasmas might be considered the First State of Matter. Plasmas have unique physics compared to solids, liquids, and gases; although plasmas are often treated as extremely hot gases, this is often incorrect. Examples of plasmas include the sun, fluorescent light bulbs and other gas-discharge tubes, very hot flames, much of interplanetary, interstellar, and intergalactice space, the earth's ionosphere, parts of the atmosphere around lightning discharges, laser-produced plasmas and plasmas produced for magnetic confinement fusion.Types of plasmas include - Astrophysical, Collisionless, Cylindrical, Electrostatically Neutral, Inhomogeneous, Intergalactic, Interstellar, Magnetized, Nonneutral, Nonthermal, Partially Ionized, Relativistic, Solid State, Strongly Coupled, Thermal, Unmagnetized, Vlasov and more. (references) |
| Plasma consists of a gas heated to sufficiently high temperatures that the atoms ionize. The properties of the gas are controlled by electromagnetic forces among constituent ions and electrons, which results in a different type of behavior. Plasma is often considered the fourth state of matter (besides solid, liquid, and gas). Most of the matter in the Universe is in the plasma state. (references) | |
| A low-density gas in which the individual atoms are ionized (and therefore charged), even though the total number of positive and negative charges is equal, maintaining an overall electrical neutrality. (references) | |
Science | A fourth state of matter (in addition to solid, liquid, and gas) that exists in space. In this state, atoms are positively charged and share space with free negatively charged electrons. Plasma can conduct electricity and interact strongly with electric and magnetic fields. The solar wind is actually hot plasma blowing from the sun. See magnetosphere. (references) |
Solar | Any ionized gas, that is, any gas containing ions and electrons. (references) |
Space | One of the four states of matter. (The other three are solid liquid and gas.) Consists of a gas of positively charged and negatively charges particles with approximately equal concentrations of both so that the total gas in approximately charge neutral. A plasma can be produced from a gas if enough energy is added to cause the electrically neutral atoms of the gas to split into positively and negatively charged atoms and electrons. (references) |
| A gas containing free ions and electrons, and therefore capable of conducting electric currents. A "partially ionized plasma" such as the Earth´s ionosphere is one that also contains neutral atoms. (references) | |
| Electrically conductive fourth state of matter (other than solid, liquid, or gas), consisting of ions and electrons. (references) | |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Blood is made up of two fractions: blood cells, and the liquid in which they are suspended, blood plasma. Blood serum is blood plasma from which the clotting factors have been removed.Plasma resembles whey in appearance (transparent with a faint straw colour). It is mainly composed of water, proteins, and mineral salts. It serves as transport medium for glucose, lipids, hormones, products of metabolism, carbon dioxide and oxygen. (It should be noted that the oxygen transport capacity of plasma is insignificant compared to that of the hemoglobin in the red blood cells; it may however become relevant under hyperbaric conditions.) It is the storage and transport medium of clotting factors and its protein content is necessary to maintain the oncotic pressure of the blood.
For purposes of laboratory tests, plasma is obtained from whole blood. To prevent clotting, an anticoagulant such as citrate is added to the blood specimen immediately after it is obtained. The specimen is then centrifuged to separate plasma from blood cells. Plasma can be frozen below -80oC for subsequent analysis.
For many biochemical laboratory tests, plasma and blood serum can be used interchangeably. Serum resembles plasma in composition but lacks the coagulation factors. It is obtained by letting a blood specimen clot prior to centrifugation. For this purpose, a serum separating tube (SST) can be used which contains glass beads to facilitate clotting.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The word plasma has a Greek root which means to be formed or molded (the word plastic shares this root) and has a few definitions:
In physics and chemistry, plasma (also called an ionized gas) is an energetic state of matter in which some or all of the electrons in the outer atomic orbitals have become separated from the atom. The result is a collection of ions and electrons which are no longer bound to each other. This state of matter was first identified by Sir William Crookes in 1879, and dubbed "plasma" by Irving Langmuir.
- in geology, a green type of chalcedony (rare - first used in 1772),
- in medicine, the fluid part of blood: see blood plasma,
- lymph or milk (first used in 1845),
- an ionized gas. The remainder of this article is concerned with this meaning.
The three lower-energy phases of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Plasmas are the most common form of matter, comprising more than 99% of the visible universe. Commonly encountered forms of plasma include the Sun and other stars (which are plasmas heated by nuclear fusion), lit fluorescent lamps, lightning, the Aurora borealis, the solar wind, and interstellar nebulae. A plasma is also generated in front of a spacecraft's heat shield on reentering the atmosphere.
There are two broad categories of plasma, hot plasmas and cold plasmas. The Sun is an example of a hot plasma. Full ionization takes place, and the ions and the electrons are in thermal equilibrium. This is what would commonly be known as the "fourth-state of matter". A cold plasma is one where only a small fraction of the atoms in a gas are ionized, and the electrons reach a very high temperature, whereas the ions remain at the ambient temperature. These plasmas can be created by using a very high electric field to accelerate electrons which ionize the atoms. The electric field is either capacitively or inductively coupled into the gas. Common applications of cold plasmas include Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition, Plasma Ion Doping, and Reactive Ion Etching.
The term plasma is generally reserved for a system of charged particles large enough to behave collectively. A microscopically small collection of charged particles is not usually called a plasma. The typical characteristics of a plasma are:
See plasma physics for active research topics.
- Debye screening lengths that are short compared to the physical size of the plasma.
- Large number of particles within a sphere with a radius of the Debye length.
- Mean time between collisions usually are long when compared to the period of plasma oscillations.
