 note = {Plasma, the fourth state of matter after solid, liquid and gas, is generated by the input of a sufficient amount of energy into a gas. This input of energy liberates free electrons from atoms or molecules and the resulting ions and electrons coexist in the plasma. Gas plasma technology takes advantage of these highly reactive species and is particularly well suited to several industrial applications such as surface modification, microfabrication and thin-film nthesis. Furthermore, recent advances have revealed that gas plasma is also useful in the field of medicine such as sterilization procedures. Our studies have shown that plasma sterilization is applicable to bacteria, viruses or other pathogens, which are inactivated via oxidation and degradation of biological molecules such as proteins, lipids and DNA. In this review, we will introduce the latest advances in plasma sterilization technology together with the results of our recent studies and then go on to discuss the potential future applications of this emerging methodology., 論文},
