'''Coalition for Plasma Science''' (CPS) is a collaborative program founded by plasma scientists and organizations to promote awareness and understanding of plasma science, a field encompassing the study of ionized gases that constitute over 99% of the visible universe and enable technologies from lighting to potential fusion energy. The program increases public awareness and understanding of plasma science and its diverse applications—such as in manufacturing, medicine, and space propulsion—uniting universities, companies, and professional societies like the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society to educate diverse audiences including the public, media, K-12 educators, and policymakers through outreach, publications, and events. Launched in 1996, CPS has grown to influence science education and public policy, notably through efforts like its Plasma Science Prize at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair and congressional briefings. | '''Coalition for Plasma Science''' (CPS) is a collaborative program founded by plasma scientists and organizations to promote awareness and understanding of plasma science, a field encompassing the study of ionized gases that constitute over 99% of the visible universe and enable technologies from lighting to potential fusion energy.
