A European spacecraft heading to Jupiter has caught the most detailed image of the comet that had astronomers perplexed and worried it might hit the Earth. The interstellar comet ...

Abstract: The particle size distribution (PSD) of coal dust measurement is effective means of preventing coal dust hazards. To address the issues of efficiency and accuracy present in traditional coal ...

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 ...

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...

Though you can't get rid of dust completely, there are things you can do to significantly reduce the amount that's in your home. Regularly replace your HVAC filters. Implement preventative measures at ...

Moon dust is sharp, corrosive, and potentially fatal. NASA’s new electric force field shield is designed to blast it away. Amy Fritz, a dust-mitigation researcher at Johnson Space Center, pours ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that bizarre interactions between subatomic particles known as neutrinos could be explained by another type of neutrino. The ...

Understanding material flow is vital to controlling fugitive dust to reduce health risks, environmental issues, expensive clean-ups and unplanned downtime. Addressing the root causes may be simpler ...

Dust explosions often happen when transporting or handling low minimum ignition energy (MIE) powders in manufacturing processes in the food, energy, chemical, pharmaceutical, and mineral industries.

Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...

Featured in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is a lenticular galaxy called NGC 4753 with intricate cosmic dust structures. Here on Earth, dust is a collection of small particles ...
