The last gasp of a primordial black hole may be the source of the highest-energy "ghost particle" detected to date, a new MIT ...

Astronomers are using radio pulses from space to find missing baryonic matter and learn about supermassive black holes, ...

Caltech scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)–based method that dramatically speeds up calculations of ...

As simple as that all may seem, not every manufacturer participates in testing or publishes CADR information, and some provide either a range of scores or a single composite score instead of three ...

Dr Stefan Reissl and Prof Dr Ralf S. Klessen introduce tiny dust particles in space, the seeds of life, in this intriguing ...

Over the past 60 years, scientists have largely succeeded in building a computer model of Earth to see what the future holds.

The western Himalayas— a region naturally vulnerable to rain-induced disasters—are facing the impact of climate change at an ...

Researchers in Germany and Australia have created a simple but powerful tool to detect nanoplastics—tiny, invisible particles that can slip through skin and even the blood-brain barrier. Using an ...

The condition of our lungs can reveal a great deal about our wider health. Luckily you can also get them into better shape.

Most earthquake energy turns into heat rather than ground shaking, sometimes hot enough to melt rock in microseconds. MIT’s ...

Cold atoms could also potentially measure much lower vacuum pressures than ion gauges can. The current lowest pressure they’ve reliably measured is around 10 -9 Pa, and NIST scientists are working on ...
