Dusty plasmas consisting of electrons, ions, neutral gas molecules, and small solid-state 'dust' particles are ubiquitous. Examples include plasma processing, fusion plasmas, polar mesospheric clouds, Saturn's rings, comet tails, and protoplanetary disks. Since Voyager I and II discovered dusty plasmas in our solar system, dusty plasmas have been extensively studied from space & basic sciences to semiconductor & display industries. Here, a brief review on dusty plasma research is given and some remarkable results are introduced.
