Abstract: This paper presents recent activities covering different plasma fields, from both theoretical and experimental point of views. An overview of the present interests of the scientific community is reported here. Starting from a brief description of the role of collisions in astrophysical plasmas, some fundamental aspects of gas discharges modelling, such as superelastic collisions and the basic concept of vibrational temperature, are discussed. Different plasma sources, as DBD and microwave discharges with their own specific applications, are reported. Edge plasmas in nuclear fusion reactors are investigated, focusing on the cooling mechanisms resulting from nitrogen puffing in the divertor region. Graphic abstract
