The electrostatic charge that is generated when two materials are contacted or rubbed and
then separated is a well-known physical process that has been studied for more than 2500 …

Complex (dusty) plasmas are composed of a weakly ionized gas and charged microparticles
and represent the plasma state of soft matter. Complex plasmas have several remarkable …

Dusty plasmas are ubiquitous in low-temperature laboratory discharges as well as in the
near-earth environment, planetary rings, and interstellar spaces. In this paper, updated …

Two omnipresent ingredients of the Universe are plasmas and charged dust. The interplay
between these two has opened up a new and fascinating research area, that of dusty …

The lunar surface is characterized by a collisionally evolved regolith resulting from
