USPlasma: Science for a Better Life and Healthy Environment

Our vision and efforts towards

global carbon emission reduction

Our Mission

To Develop Impactful Technologies Addressing Mankind Challenges. We leverage the fourth state of matter, plasmas, and ultra-high temperature, up to and above the sun’s surface temperature, to manufacture cost-competitive, high quality, and novel materials and to minimize, recycle, and treat waste to ensure a clean environment. We strive for a better life and healthy environment through superior technologies, and high-quality and cost-effective products with reduced or negative carbon emissions.

USPlasma Inc. is a spinoff project from the

University of Maryland and Princeton University.
