Physical Plasma Systems
Lab Stream
Hardware design and plasma generation
Design and test plasma architectures. Build modular components that can be 3D-printed, assembled safely, and replicated globally.
Plasma-Water Interface
Lab Stream
Water treatment and chemistry
Investigate how plasma-treated water behaves. Test oxidation mechanisms, desalination methods, and pollutant breakdown pathways.
Ecosystem Dynamics
Lab Stream
Ecological responses and resilience
Study how organisms and ecosystems respond to plasma-treated environments. Track genetic changes, monitor microbiome shifts, measure resilience.
Protocols
Framework Stream
Methodology and standards
Create reproducible experimental workflows. Build documentation so thorough that replication becomes trivial. Establish open-hardware standards.
Governance
Framework Stream
Ethics and decision-making
Define and uphold the Non-Lethal Mandate. Design transparent decision-making processes. Develop commons-based IP frameworks.
Validation
Framework Stream
Peer review and reproducibility
Build peer review systems that work openly. Create pre-registration workflows. Design decentralized verification methods.
Data
Commons Stream
APIs and infrastructure
Design APIs that make data ingestion seamless. Build standardized schemas so datasets talk to each other. Create distributed storage systems.
Visualization
Commons Stream
Dashboards and data viz
Design real-time monitoring dashboards. Build open-source visualization libraries. Create public data access interfaces.
Modeling
Commons Stream
Systems theory and simulation
Apply systems theory to ecosystem dynamics. Build resilience models that predict tipping points. Simulate coupling dynamics across scales.
