摘要: We describe the first observation of a void closure in complex plasma experiments under microgravity conditions performed with Plasma-Kristall (PKE-Nefedov) facility on board International Space Station. The void--a grain-free region central part discharge where is generated--has been formed most and thought to be an inevitable effect. However, we demonstrate this Letter that appropriate tune parameters allows close. This experimental achievement along its theoretical interpretation opens new perspectives engineering large quasi-isotropic void-free clouds conditions.
