Abstract
The results of high-resolution processing using the multilevel
dynamical contrasting method of earlier experiments on linear Z-pinches are
presented which illustrate formation of a dynamical percolating network woven
by long-living filaments of electric current. A qualitative approach is
outlined which treats long-living filaments as a classical plasma formation
governed by the long-range quantum bonds provided, at the microscopical level,
by nanotubes of elements of optimal valence. The self-similarity of
structuring in laboratory and cosmic plasmas is shown, and examples are found
of nanotube-like and/or fullerene-like structures of cosmic length scales.
