plasma
Matter's fourth state
Plasma has meanings united by the idea of a formable or flowing substance.
In physics, plasma is the fourth state of matter—ionized gas found in stars, lightning, and neon signs.
In biology, blood plasma is the liquid portion of blood that carries cells and proteins.
A plasma screen uses ionized gas to produce images.
In cell biology, cytoplasm and protoplasm refer to the gel-like material inside cells.
