Breakablezeroed in on tiny, bubble-like islands that appear in hot, charged gases — or plasmas
It is very unlikely they are talking about plasmoids. It is still yet to be defined under what conditions plasmoids do form, but the conditions are much different and the results as well – a slow expanding region, unlike the plasmoid collapse like effect.
IMHO it is a good idea to leave the plasma for plasma physicists to analyse, or we will thread in to the twilight area of pseudo-science. On the other hand I like to speculate myself.
On unrelated notice: I wonder whether plasmoids can be modelled like a bursting bubble. Yes, they have plasma contents, but maybe the electro-magnetic field collapse can ignore its pressure when modelling, because its more powerful.
