Scientists propose novel particle detector that could help hunt down elusive dark matter

The proposed semiconductor-based design uses magnetic fields to catch dark matter particles.

Quantum semiconductor design could expand search for dark matter

Dark matter accounts for 85% of the matter in the universe, but scientists still do not know what it is made of. A study, ...

Are turbulence effects on droplet collision–coalescence a key to understanding observed rain formation in clouds?

The flow in most clouds is turbulent, and the effects of cloud–turbulence interactions are challenging to represent in atmospheric models. It has been hypothesized that impacts of turbulence on drop ...
