Today, Physicist X has made a groundbreaking discovery that X-Rays shouldn’t have any effect on cold plasmas. This could have a huge impact on the field of plasma physics and our understanding of how charged particles react with light. X-Rays are usually absorbed or scattered by plasmas at elevated temperatures, but Physicist X has shown that this doesn’t happen when the plasma is cold. This is due to the fact that when the plasma is cold, the effect of the electric field on the charged particles is decreased, leaving the X-Rays to pass through the plasma unaltered.
