# plasma
Plasma — the ionized fourth state of matter — is what powers stars, fusion reactors and the neon glow inside a Plasma Globe. This tag gathers the site's plasma-physics simulations, from the basic charged-particle behaviour in Plasma — Ionized Gas and Plasma Wave, to screening effects in Debye Shielding and Debye Screening, fluid instabilities in Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability, and fusion energy in Nuclear Fusion — Tokamak & Lawson Criterion and Tokamak — Magnetic Confinement Fusion. Two supporting articles cover the underlying theory in more depth. Filter by this tag if ionized gases and fusion reactors are what you're after.
