who the heck do you think is going to be telling you about classified plasma tech?
The use of cold plasma technology may have the potential to transform UK farming and commercial food production, experts say.
The technology has the ability to reduce harmful chemicals and antibiotics in the food chain.
It is thought that it could be available for use outside of laboratories - for example by food producers or farmers - in as little as three years time.
A newly-opened laboratory will investigate plasma, which aims to use the technology to lessen the threat of anti-microbial resistance (AMR).
The Centre for Plasma in Agri-Food (AgriPlas) has been officially opened at the Institute for Global Food Security at Queen's University Belfast.
AgriPlas is the first of its kind in Europe; its focus will not only be pioneering research into cold plasma – partially or wholly ionised gases that have antimicrobial properties – but also its application.
Also please stop saying "trolling" all the time. That word does not mean... etc. Princess Bride. Pat Pending.

OK you've showed a complete ignorance of what has been written previously here and in other threads. But it's OK. This is social media and the motto of this site is "apply ignorance".
Time for a tweet and delete again, no?

“When you’re talking about a potential threat that we don’t have any understanding at all of what it is, how it works, where it comes from, or who’s behind it, that’s a different conversation, because, as a national security instrument, we are paid to have those answers on behalf of the Ameri-can people,” Lue explained. “We’ve been dealing with this problem for a long time, if not decades. And the fact that our government and other governments aren’t really any closer to understanding some of those basic interrogatives is very unsettling. So, naturally, people don’t want to have that conversation, especially the Department of Defense.”
When Chase asked how others reacted when they were apprised of the sensitive information, Lue explained, “Different people react differently to different information. It is really a personal thing. Most of them would look at me and look at my deputy. They’d kind of shake their heads and say, yeah, I kind of figured this is what we’re talking about. Some people will laugh at it, some people will kind of gasp, and then hold their breath. Other folks might make jokes at it. Not to be funny, but it’s a way of relieving some of the stress that evolved when you’re seeing something that is outmaneuvering anything we have. There are about 30 per-cent of the people, in my experience, who absolutely can’t process it. It’s too much; they don’t want to talk about it. They don’t want to even think about it, for whatever reason. And I respect that.”
