Abstract: A plasma generator apparatus generates atmospheric pressure and low temperature plasma that can communicate with a gas to generate reactive species that can be contained in a liquid. The plasma generator has a first electrode and a second electrode opposing each other with a space there between that is configured to house the gas. The generator also has a dielectric layer having a relative permittivity between 2 and 500, and a thickness of 3 mm or less; a power supply configured to supply electrical power to the first and second electrodes at a predetermined voltage and frequency, such that, based on a distance between the first and second electrodes, and the presence of the dielectric layer, atmospheric pressure, low temperature plasma is generated in the space so as to communicate with the gas disposed therein to thereby generate the reactive species.

Abstract: A method for introducing a genome editing enzyme into a plant cell includes: treating the cell with plasma; and then bringing the cell into contact with the genome editing enzyme in the presence of a di- or higher-valent metal cation.

Abstract: An endoscope hood having excellent antifogging properties and antifouling properties. The endoscope hood is configured to be mounted on an insertion side end of an endoscope. The endoscope hood comprises a cylindrical exterior portion and a disc portion provided in contact with an inner surface of the exterior portion. The exterior portion and the disc portion are formed integrally or separately. At least the disc portion is made of a hydrogel.

Abstract: Provided is an end effector enabling the grasping of tissue and plasma radiation to tissue. This end effector comprises: a grasping member for grasping tissue; and a plasma generation mechanism capable of generating plasma. A pulling means is connected to the plasma generation mechanism, and by operation of the connected pulling means, grasping of tissue by the grasping means is achieved. The plasma generation means is configured so as to enable plasma to be radiated at the position where the grasping member grasps tissue.

Abstract: It was found that bringing a substance into contact with a plant cell after the plant cell is treated with plasma makes it possible to easily and highly efficiently introduce the substance into the cell without causing a damae regardless of the types of the plant and tissue from which the plant cell is derived.

Abstract: A plasma treatment method subjects a long object to be treated to plasma treatment by placing the long object to be treated in contact with plasma, the density distribution of which varies while selectively passing the long object to be treated through an area having high plasma density so that a surface of the long object can be thoroughly and uniformly subjected to plasma treatment. The method is applied to a plasma treatment apparatus, and a plasma-treated long object can be obtained by the method.

Abstract: Provided are a yarn which can be easily knotted according to a common knotting method, which is high in knot strength and which can be suppressed in fading of coloration, and a method for production of the same. A yarn in which a plasma treated surface is formed on a surface of an original yarn and the plasma treated surface is covered with rubber. The yarn is preferably made of a synthetic resin, and polyethylene, wholly aromatic polyester and wholly aromatic polyamide are more preferable.

Abstract: The plasma temperature control apparatus includes a plasma generating section 40 that turns a plasma-generating gas into plasma, and a plasma-generating gas temperature control section 30 that controls the temperature of the plasma-generating gas supplied to the plasma generating section 40. The temperature of the plasma generated in the plasma generating section 40 is controlled by controlling the temperature of the plasma-generating gas.

Abstract: A liquid introducing plasma system including a plasma chamber in which a plasma is produced, a plasma generator device which creates the plasma in the chamber, and a spouting device for linearly ejecting a liquid in a linear jet to thereby introduce the liquid into the plasma chamber is disclosed. The plasma system is capable of supplying an ultra-small volume of sample liquid to the plasma while reducing consumption of electrical power required for generation of the plasma.

Abstract: The invention is related to a treatment for a base material using plasma. Various particulate substances, porous substances, or film-state substances can be easily formed on the base material. Alternatively, a particulate substance, a porous substance, or a film-state substance, such as ceramic, can be formed even on a base material having low heat resistance. In a treatment method using plasma, in which the plasma is irradiated on a precursor substance 12 deposited on a surface of a base material 10 and a portion of the component materials of the precursor substance 12 is removed, the base material 10 is in particulate form, filamentous form, or three-dimensional form. The precursor substance 12 is liquid, gas, suspension, powder, or a solid applied to the base material. The precursor substance 12 is deposited on the base material 10 by coating, spraying, transfer, or printing.
