One of my favourite devices from Science Fiction would have to be the “Force Field”. Be it the quaint let’s get it up in a hurry force field from the original Lost in Space TV series, or the nail biting “shields at 5% Captain” from the original Star Trek.

These fictional force fields protect us from a host of nasties ranging from a Klingon phaser blast to the unceasing onslaught of the Wraith in Stargate Atlantis. It’s all well and good for sci-fi but how close are we to developing a real world force field? A lot closer than you think! Welcome to “Cold Plasma”.
