You've heard of the Big Bang, but have you heard of this BIG BANGER from Horrible Science? Sing along for the rest of time to ...

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 ...

India's first homegrown cosmic dust detector, the Dust EXperiment (DEX), has uncovered a relentless bombardment of microscopic interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) slamming into orbital instruments ...

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 ...

Death, taxes, and brake dust are three things you can count on in life. While there's not much we can do about the first two, keeping your rims shiny and clean is less problematic. Brake dust is a ...

Using a precisely aligned pair of laser beams, scientists can now hold a single aerosol particle in place and monitor how it charges up. The particle’s glow signals each step in its changing ...

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 ...

Machines like cyclotrons and synchrotrons help scientists recreate the conditions of the Big Bang and probe the very edges of particle physics. They also tend to be very big. Now, a new study details ...

Space dust provides more than just awe-inspiring pictures like the Pillars of Creation. It can provide the necessary materials to build everything from planets to asteroids. But what it actually looks ...
