A new study shows that a single radioactive cloud was responsible for a large share of the nuclear fallout during the ...

A single radioactive cloud was likely responsible for dispersing highly radioactive microscopic particles across large parts of Fukushima Prefecture ...

Particle size, shape, surface charge, and stability can all affect texture, mouthfeel, appearance, shelf life, and processing performance. This article explores how particle characterization helps ...

Pulmonary drug delivery has long been associated with a familiar set of indications, particularly asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Those conditions remain central to the ...

We continue our coverage of the proposed alliant energy gas plant that would be right off highway 30 and linn benton road.We ...

A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the standard model.

Our planet is under a constant bombardment of radiation—from space. Well, maybe it’s not as scary as that makes it seem. “Radiation” is a catchall term astronomers use for forms of light—including ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is ...

A new particle has popped into existence at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, a heavier proton-like particle that contains two charm quarks. Protons and neutrons are examples of a class of particles ...

Physicists just discovered a brand-new particle that appears to be an exotic cousin to the protons and neutrons that make up atoms. Those mundane subatomic particles are made up of even smaller ...

The Sun unleashes a torrent of charged particles. Some of them slam into the Earth’s atmosphere, triggering breathtaking auroras in the night sky. But for equipment that’s orbiting our planet in outer ...

Cosmic rays are extremely fast, charged particles that travel through space at nearly the speed of light. The Amaterasu particle was detected in 2021 by the Telescope Array experiment in the U.S. It ...
