Because they are portable and easy to operate at ambient temperatures, cold atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJs) should find innovative applications in biomedicine, materials science and ...

The principal tool in the Atmospheric Physics Lab is a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. Because the OH stretch (which is an IR active transition) in the water molecule is particularly ...

A 55-gallon steel drum is sealed and cooled, letting atmospheric pressure do the work. Watch how invisible forces can crush ...

For decades, scientists quested after a room-temperature superconductor. Now that they’ve finally found one, the hunt is on for an even better material. Until last year, all known superconductors — ...

Long-term weather forecasting is a difficult task, partly because weather systems are inherently chaotic. Though mathematical ...

Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, is found as a gas in our atmosphere. In 1935, Eugene Wigner and Hillard Bell Huntington put out a theory that at high enough pressures, hydrogen ...
