The idea of requiring new homes in Iowa to have a radon mitigation system earned attention at the Iowa Statehouse. House File 1027 was overwhelmingly passed in the Iowa House, but it didn’t make ...

“It is not uncommon for homes in Wood County to have radon in the indoor air. ODH reports the average results for the Luckey zip code are 5.8 pCi/L, and recent results range from 23.7 pCi/L to 0 ...

For now, the most likely explanation is that the particle is just a high-energy neutrino, but we’re likely to learn more about these elusive particles when KM3NeT is fully online.

So, the high-energy particle wasn’t directly a dark matter particle, but rather a muon that decayed from dark matter likely fired from a blazar (a type of active galactic nucleus) right at Earth.

NEWS 05 June 2025 Quantum computers tackle unexplored particle physics Two quantum-simulation experiments make a step towards understanding the forces between elementary particles.

The signals didn’t even fit into the Standard Model of Particle Physics, which describes how matter is made up of subatomic particles. They could only be called anomalous.

Final results from a long-running U.S.-based experiment announced Tuesday show a tiny particle continues to act strangely — but that’s still good news for the laws of physics as we know them.

Muons’ magnetism matches theory, easing an enduring physics conundrum New results mend a decades-old crack in the standard model of particle physics, but some questions remain ...

A new UC Riverside-led study reveals how common small particles produced by nature as well as human activities can transform upon entering plant cells and weaken plants' ability to turn sunlight ...

See where Canadian wildfire smoke and a plume of dust from the Sahara Desert in Africa will hover over the U.S. East Coast this week.

Dust particles thrown up from deserts such as the Sahara and Gobi are playing a previously unknown role in air pollution, a new study has found.
