Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light and is thus impossible to detect using conventional techniques employed in particle physics. In recent years ...

The term dust is used 16 times in the book of Job. The idea associated with dust is that it is “nothing.” Dust is associated with lowliness or humility. When Job repented in dust and ashes, he was ...

Therefore, it is necessary to create recirculation regions inside a transfer point to improve dust settling. The basic concept is the trajectory of a dust particle can be modelled based on the ...

Helen Edwards was a particle physicist who led the design and construction of the Tevatron, a machine built to probe deeper into the atom than anyone had gone before.

Particle physics is the study of the elementary building blocks of matter and radiation and their interaction. The fundamental particles are summarised by the standard model. This includes leptons ...

Now, a couple of weeks since DeepSeek’s big moment, the dust has settled a bit. The news cycle has moved on to calmer things, like the dismantling of long-standing US federal programs ...

One of the most puzzling aspects is quantum entanglement, a phenomenon where two particles remain connected regardless of distance. When one particle changes, the other does too—instantly. This idea ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state of its entangled pair regardless of distance. This strange fact flies ...

Capturing and predicting such extreme events is critical for society. The Lagrangian particle dispersion model FLEXPART and the associated dust emission model FLEXDUST have been recently developed and ...

Finally, a silk matrix filter that combines activated carbon and a silk-based protein web is used to remove viruses and fine dust ... to its laser powered particle sensor.

Particle pollution forms through two separate processes—mechanical and chemical. Mechanical processes break down bigger particles into smaller bits with the material remaining essentially the same, ...

Pictures have emerged of a huge dust storm that formed outside Onslow in the Pilbara just after midday on Saturday. Onlookers have compared the sight to Hollywood special effects "like Indiana ...
