The most intense flashes of lightning can do more than just light up the sky: Lightning sometimes acts as a natural particle accelerator, firing beams of electrons at high speeds toward space, a new ...

MISSOULA. Mont. — Thunderstorms have been developing each afternoon across western Montana, and some of them produced plenty of lightning. In the video above, Meteorologist Mitchel Coombs breaks down ...

Linear accelerators are used to create radiation to treat cancer, sterilise medical equipment and much more. They are also capable of generating lightning sculptures, officially known at 3D ...

Researchers have that found that 3D printers spew tiny particles into the air as they operate, though the quantity and nature of these potentially toxic aerosols are poorly understood. A new study ...

It is a common practice to estimate the number of particle-track traversals per cell or cell nucleus as the product of the ion's linear energy transfer (LET) and cell area. This practice ignores the ...

An international collaboration headed by researchers in the Department of Physics has shown that additive manufacturing offers a realistic way to build large-scale plastic scintillator detectors for ...
