The cleanest chamber ever built is allowing researchers at CERN to track the microscopic processes governing cloud formation, finds Matthew Chalmers Clean climate The CLOUD experiment is sensitive to ...

[Advanced Tinkering] over on YouTube has some pretty unique content, on subjects of chemistry and physics that are a little more, interesting let’s say — anyone fancy distilling cesium? The subject of ...

Turbulent air in the atmosphere affects how cloud droplets form. New research from Michigan Technological University’s cloud chamber changes the way clouds, and therefore climate, are modeled. Chat ...

Dust plays a major role in the formation of ice in the atmosphere. A new analysis of satellite data, published in Science, shows that dust can cause a cloud’s water droplets to freeze at warmer ...

FRANKFURT. The Asian monsoon transports enormous amounts of air from atmospheric layers close to Earth’s surface to a height of around 15 kilometres. Like in a gigantic elevator, human-induced ...

Cloud chambers are an exciting and highly visual science experiment. They’re fascinating to watch as you can see the passage of subatomic particles from radioactive decay with your very own eyes. Many ...

Atmospheric researchers have discovered a mechanism that allows nuclei for ice clouds to form and rapidly grow in the upper troposphere. Although the conditions for nucleus formation are only ...
