Cold atmospheric plasma jet

Caption

This cold atmospheric plasma made with helium gas was used to gather real-world data for developing artificially intelligent software that provides the chemical composition of the jet’s output. The purple glow is caused by collisions that excite the gas atoms in the plasma, causing them to release light as energy.
