Hi,

It appears that a Russian/German collaboration is underway investigating and experimenting with "plasma crystals" on the international space station. According to NASA the data has already been sent back to Earth but there isn't any more info about it. The Russian website linked to also has limited info, though I did see a youtube of the Russian broadcasts from the ISS showing sneak peaks of so-called plasma crystals forming (they didn't look like your normal crystal to me).
I did not read much about plasma crystals on this website, and I was wondering if there were any good resources to learn from. But the thing I am most curious about was, what were they experimenting exactly on the ISS? What were they trying to determine? And are results published anywhere, perhaps some obscure website that doesn't rank on google but known by the plasma physics or aerospace community? Apparently plasma crystals are a newly observed phenomena, plasma taking the shape of DNA strands etc, or forming lattices in mid-air so-to-speak.

Thanks,

Sam

I finaly found a very good video.

It will BLOW your mind!

The guy says that one scientist from the Max Planck institute locked himself in a room for weeks just to come to terms with what he saw LOL
The experiment is described as a "shot in the dark" which "completely amazed everyone".

Galaxy formations, DNA formations, really amazing what plasma does in zero gravity. The video is a "must see".

Wow. Double layers and Birkeland currents right there.

I hope the scientists don't believe that controlling emissions really is the most important application of this knowledge, though.
