Just interested as I’ve been studying physics for a couple of years but only touch on plasma references here and there but I’m genuinely stumped on what plasma could be used for. I know plasma cutters exist and somehow theres plasma in TVs from the gases interacting with electricity.

Are there variations of plasma used? Especially those used for real world application?
