As a result, the histogram of particle motion, called the velocity distribution function, is distorted. Distortions in the velocity distribution function can cause unexpected plasma dynamics ...

Although we are not suggesting that the plasma membrane is homogenous or that movement of molecules in the membrane occurs only by simple diffusion, we do suggest that either SPT be performed in ...

A plasma instability has been photographed for the first time, showcasing electron beams forming spaghetti-like filaments.

which is the histogram of particle motion. Understanding the background physics is desired because distortions in the velocity distribution function can result in unexpected plasma dynamics ...
