== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Plasma''' β An "Ionized Gas" consisting of "Positive Ions" and "Free Electrons" in proportions that result in more or less "Zero Net Charge." * '''Ionization''' β The process of "Adding or Removing electrons" from an atom to create an "Ion." * '''The 4th State of Matter''' β The transition: **Solid** (Fixed) β **Liquid** (Flows) β **Gas** (Fills space) β **Plasma** (Electrified). * '''Quasineutrality''' β The property of plasma where the total "Positive" and "Negative" charges "Cancel out" on a large scale. * '''Magneto-Hydrodynamics (MHD)''' β The study of how "Magnetic Fields" and "Plasmas" interact (The 'Fluid Dynamics' of electricity). * '''Debye Shielding''' β The ability of a plasma to "Hide" a charge by "Surrounding it" with opposite charges. * '''Solar Wind''' β The "Stream of Plasma" constantly flying away from the Sun and "Hitting" the Earth's magnetic field. * '''Nuclear Fusion''' β The process of "Merging Atoms" inside a plasma to "Release Energy" (The power source of the Stars). * '''Tokamak''' β A "Donut-shaped" machine that uses "Giant Magnets" to "Bottle up" a 100-million-degree plasma for energy research. * '''Aurora Borealis''' β The "Glow" created when "Solar Plasma" hits the "Gas atoms" in the Earth's atmosphere. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
