The extent to which aerosol particles affect the climate depends on how much water the particles can hold in the atmosphere. The capacity to hold water is referred to as hygroscopicity (K) and, in ...

The Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory, located at Arete Capital’s Stawell Gold Mine in Western Victoria, Australia, has received the first transmissions from a muon detector placed 1 ...

This means that particles that emit Čerenkov radiation slow down due to its emission. The second is that the angle that the Čerenkov radiation is emitted at allows us to determine the speed of ...

Scientists believe tanker planes could spray sulfur dioxide aerosol in the upper atmosphere over Earth’s poles to help them refreeze. The temperatures of Earth’s poles could be cooled by about ...

Classifying weather to tease out how aerosols influence storms Machine learning study tracks large-scale weather patterns, providing baseline categories for disentangling how aerosol particles ...

Similar problems could result from damage to sperm, said radiation biologist and geneticist Andrew Wyrobek of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, who was not part of the study.
