Recent Advances and Opportunities Recent advances in plasma sources, better diagnostics and modelling techniques and computational tools have significantly improved our ability to understand, control and optimize plasma processes. Coupled with  artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, these advances enable real-time diagnostics, adaptive control and data-driven optimization. Together, these developments are expanding the performance, reliability and applicability of plasma-based technologies.  Many plasma applications are still in an early stage of development. Results from laboratory and pilot-scale studies often face challenges in reproducibility, scalability, standardization and validation when transitioning toward broader practical implementation. Addressing these cross-cutting challenges requires coordinated international research and…

Wildfire prevention has traditionally relied on blunt tools, such as rigid inspection cycles and emergency power shutoffs.

In 2025 more than 77,000 wildfires were reported in the U.S.—significantly more than the past decade’s average—and burned more than five million acres. For months at a time, firefighting resources were stretched thin. Droughts have been recurring as the climate has continued to warm, and wildfires are now…
