Strong winds play a crucial role in the formation of dust storms. These strong winds are produced by a variety of weather ...

From living matter to molecules to elementary particles, the world is made of “chiral” objects that differ from their ...

But the particles physicists know about — the collection of particles that make up what scientists call the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics — shouldn't be able to do that. Sure ...

Some are active, feeding on massive amounts of surrounding matter—sometimes as much as several suns per year. While most of ...

This high-altitude slideshow is displaying real-time images of cloud particles being sampled by a device out on the plane's wing — and some of the ice crystals looked like perfect little snowflakes.

Not all particles are the same size ... plays a key role because air at cruising altitude is thin — good for flying fast, but not great for providing oxygen to breathe. After air snakes into ...

That's because the LHC's detectors take some 40 million snapshots of flying particles every second. That's too much raw data to hang on to everything and most of it isn't very interesting.

Foster also reported significant traumatic injuries from “flying particles and the debris that that was carried on the air by the explosion, and that’s resulted in some infectious ...
