How is cold plasma created or how is it produced? Unlike hot plasma - such as the sun, lightning or auroras - cold plasma operates at normal room temperature, raising the question of how this is possible when plasma is the hottest known state of substance.

Cold plasma is created when just enough energy is added to a gas (e.g. normal room air) so that only a few of its particles are ionized, in contrast to the disorder and thermal activity of hot plasmas, where all particles are ionized.

This cold plasma particle mixture - we call it a “plasma cocktail” - is very active against microorganisms, among other things, and can therefore be used in water treatment, the food industry, but also in medicine and cosmetics.
