A few of the fascinating things about plasmas (from what I understand)
is that:

1) Because the true sense of atoms no longer applies (the electrons
disassociate from the atoms), no chemical bonds can be formed.

2) The plasma's forms a natural flux or electromagnetic field which
(of course) is affected by other fields.

3) There corrently is no true plasma bottle: electrons still can
escape. This causes a charging of the surrounding non-plasma
objects which affects and "cools" the plasma.

What everybody else think?
