A strange, glowing form of matter called dusty plasma turns out to be incredibly sensitive to magnetic fields. Researchers found that even weak fields can change how tiny particles grow, simply by ...

The mysteries of space had infinite possibilities for surprising experts, and the beauty of space revealed something new again. NASA’s newly launched PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and ...

A team of researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder is gathering at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida this morning for a planned launch of their IDEX space device. The IDEX, short for ...

Superdiffusive transport describes a regime in which the displacement of energetic particles deviates from classical Brownian motion, following a power‐law behaviour that results in far more rapid ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us. They come from cosmic rays—high-energy particles that can originate from exploding ...

An instrument built by the University of Colorado Boulder will soon launch on a NASA space mission where it will aim to collect interstellar dust particles hurtling through space at an average of 16 ...

"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting stronger and stronger upper limits, so alternative scenarios have to be ...

Our sun can seem deceptively peaceful from Earth, but only because we have the luxury of living 150 million kilometers away. Up close, it's a nuclear-fuelled carnival ride of terror, launching ...
