OPS
Open Plasma Science
Created in 2023, Open Plasma Science is a peer-reviewed journal supported by the University of Lorraine. It publishes articles in English covering plasma science in the broadest sense, from fusion plasmas to high- and low-pressure discharge plasmas, from plasma-surface or plasma-liquid interactions to turbulence in plasmas, from propulsion to manufacturing processes using plasmas.

Reactive molecular dynamics approach to PFAS plasma oxidation in water
This work establishes a protocol to study via Molecular Dynamics simulation the degradation of Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in water by hydroxyl radical. To achieve this, molecular dynamics simulations are carried out, using ReaxFF reactive interaction potential. Simulations are carried out under a temperature ramp for determining all possible products. Using this methodology, reaction pathways of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) are identified.

Update of the integrated flight simulator for ASDEX Upgrade
We present the latest updates of the flight simulator of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG), 'Fenix AUG'. Fenix AUG contains simplified models for both the plasma physics and the device operation. The updated version is split into three independent repositories and has been integrated into Docker containers for better management and deployment. The device models can now directly import their configuration from the AUG control system. Although the physics models can be fine tuned to each case, the default settings have been set up to run a large variety of experiments without the need of case-to-case adaptation. Together, the enhancements make Fenix AUG a versatile tool that can be applied to a wide range of applications 'out-of-the-box', such as: to compare simple physics models to the experiment, to assess new controllers within the framework of the existing ones, or, to verify that a planned discharge will follow expected trajectories and will not run into machine or safety limits. An example of each application is showcased to highlight some strengths and limitations of the simulator.

Supporting executable scientific workflows in a clustered Infrastructure: DARIAH-IT and H2IOSC
Workflows have become essential in digital humanities, enabling the formalisation, automation and reproducibility of complex research processes. As the humanities increasingly adopt data-driven methodologies, workflows offer structured approaches to manage diverse data and tools while supporting transparency and collaboration. Recognising this need, DARIAH-IT has advanced research infrastructure development by focusing on workflow-based services within the H2IOSC (Humanities and Cultural Heritage Italian Open Science Cloud) project. DARIAH-IT leads the design and implementation of a national cloud system to support digital humanities research, ensuring interoperability, FAIR data practices and semantic integration across disciplines. Central to DARIAH-IT’s effort within H2IOSC is AEON (dAriah sErvice Oriented iNfrastructure), a platform that enables the creation, execution and management of scientific workflows. AEON integrates service provisioning, semantic validation and runtime orchestration, supporting reproducible research and collaborative practices.

Fluffy Publication Workflow: Preserving Humanities Research Data with the TextGrid Repository
This paper introduces a revised publication workflow for textual research data in the TextGrid Repository. This repository supports the accessibility and reusability of research outputs in the humanities. The new workflow simplifies the publication process by integrating familiar tools such as TEI, XPath, Git, and Jupyter Notebooks. This reduces the technical burden for users, while still ensuring metadata quality controls. For these reasons, we refer to the new workflow as fluffy, emphasising its ease of use.The workflow also allows for metadata enrichment without altering original data files, improving overall data and metadata quality and aligning with FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). By showcasing completed research projects, we demonstrate how the workflow enhances the discoverability and citation of published outputs. The paper concludes by outlining future steps to integrate the workflow with additional services, aiming for a more user-friendly experience and higher metadata quality.
