Glacier FarmMedia – Alberta researchers are harnessing a high-tech concept to decontaminate grain. They’re using cold plasma, which is created by electrical discharge in a low-pressure gas. One of the most common uses is in florescent lighting, which creates light with little heat. Cold plasma is the fourth state of matter, alongside solid, liquid and […] Read more
