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

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 ...

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

ANITA picks up only the most extreme high-energy neutrinos, Barbano said, and if the upward-flying particles were cosmic-accelerator-boosted neutrinos from the Standard Model — most likely tau ...

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.

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.

So FTL verified, right? Not quite. The study finds that the average travel time for tunneling particles is shorter than the time the free-flying particles. But that’s only for the ...

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 ...
