Time to get your science fiction hats on, but leave the fiction visor off this time. The BBC has gotten all hot and bothered today about a newly published fishing expedition* report attributing a pointed advancement in the field of plasma-based disinfection of both healthy and wounded human skin.

The fact the researchers themselves don't know is both unnerving and strangely fun at the same time. We've got a shot of the forerunner after the break and the entire paper is attainable at the read link, if you feel like a geek binge.
