5th US Low Temperature Plasma Summer School, 2026
The 5th United States Low Temperature Plasma Summer School (USLTPSS) was held June 15-19, 2026, on the campus of the North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC. The USLTPSS provided an opportunity for graduate students, post-docs, early career investigators and researchers new to the field to be immersed in the fundamentals and applications of low temperature plasmas for one week and to learn from leading researchers in their field. It is our hope that the USLTPSS will also strengthen our dynamic low temperature plasma community.
