Plasmas represent the so-called 4th state of matter in which atoms break down into a gas of charged particles. In spite of tremendous progress over the past decades in understanding plasmas, there are many challenges that still confront plasma physicists, especially when it comes to the design and development of potential applications.

This Nature Conference organized in partnership with Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Saint Petersburg, Russia, aims to provide a platform for the exchange of recent results between plasma scientists working on different plasma-related research topics, to stimulate further breakthroughs in fundamental understanding and advances towards new applications in this fascinating field of research.

The meeting will bring together experts and young scientists from various plasma subfields, including nuclear fusion, astrophysical plasmas, industrial plasmas, dusty plasmas and laser–plasma interactions. The conference will provide opportunities for discussions and lower barriers between plasma experimentalists and theorists alike, resulting in new partnerships between the different plasma communities.
