TED-ED: Solid, liquid, gas and plasma? - Michael Murillo

The video explores plasma, a state of matter that makes up 99.9% of the universe. It explains how plasma is formed from gases at high temperatures and how it behaves differently from solids, liquids, and gases. The video highlights plasma's unique reactions to electric and magnetic fields, leading to phenomena like the aurora borealis. Practical applications include plasma TVs and healthcare uses, such as sterilizing surfaces. The video concludes with plasma's potential for future environmental and energy solutions.
