A couple of times a month — sometimes more, sometimes less — an explosion goes off on the surface of the sun, releasing energy that's equal to millions of hydrogen bombs. Mind boggling as that number ...

Dipangkar Dutta receives funding from US Dept. of Energy and NSF. A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What ...

Tiny solid particles — like pollutants, cloud droplets and medicine powders — form highly concentrated clusters in turbulent environments like smokestacks, clouds and pharmaceutical mixers. What ...

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider have announced the discovery of three new 'exotic particles' that could help to explain how our universe was formed. The new structures exist for just a hundred ...
