This review paper presents historical perspectives, recent advances and future directions in
the multidisciplinary research field of plasma nanoscience. The current status and future …

Charged microparticles confined in electrodynamic traps evolve into strongly coupled
Coulomb systems (SCCS) which are the subject of current investigation. Recent results with …

The main properties of the dusty plasma layer near the surface over the illuminated and dark
parts of the Moon are described. They are used to realize dusty plasma behaviour and to …

The dynamics of dust ion-acoustic solitons is analyzed in a wide range of dusty plasma
parameters. The cases of both a positive dust grain charge arising due to the photoelectric …

Waves in a dusty plasma over the lunar dayside are considered. It is shown that the relative
motion of the solar wind with respect to the photoelectrons over the lunar surface leads to …

The development of plasma accelerators for spacecraft propulsion that can capture space
matter and energy shows great promise for spacecraft advancement. Such a technical …

A brief review of studies on dusty plasmas, in which an important place is occupied by
anomalous dissipation associated with dust particle charging, is given. It is noted that …

A self-consistent model of the formation and evolution of dusty plasma structures in the
ionospheres of the Earth and Mars is presented. The model allows describing the formation …

From the Apollo era of exploration, it was discovered that sunlight was scattered at the
terminators giving rise to “horizon glow” and “streamers” above the lunar surface …
