To capture as much information as possible about clouds of atoms at the heart of the MAGIS-100 experiment, scientists devised a dome of mirrors that gathers more light from more angles. When it goes ...

When it goes online, the MAGIS-100 experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and its successors will explore the nature of gravitational waves and search for ...

When clouds meet clear skies, cloud droplets evaporate as they mix with dry air. A new study has succeeded in capturing what happens in a model. Ultimately, this could lead to more accurate climate ...

Clouds have a number of important functions. They act as reflectors whereby water droplets in the cloud reflect radiation back to the Earth, which contributes to the greenhouse effect. When clouds ...

Extreme wildfires in Canada in 2017 were so intense that they could tell us what ramifications the planet would experience as a result of nuclear war. Geopolitical tensions have once again raised the ...

In the quantum realm, seemingly impossible things are happening every day. Thanks to quantum effects, a particle of light can exit a cloud of extremely cold atoms before it even enters. When light ...
