DESCRIPTION

It is for the first time that physicists investigated the behavior of particles in a dusty plasma at a temperature below 2 K. The experiment showed that at extremely low temperatures nanoclusters can form in the plasma, and the synthesis of polymer fibers takes place. The results of the experiment can be used to create new materials with desired and controlled properties. The results of this study are published in Nature: Scientific Reports.
