“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 ...
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.
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.
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 ...
The American Lung Association and the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (Iowa HHS) congratulate the winners of the 2025 Iowa Radon Poster and Video Contest. The annual contest raises ...
Instruments flying more than 18 miles (29 kilometers) above Antarctica detected two unexplainable radio pulses coming from below the ice — and these signals seem to defy particle physics.
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 ...
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.
For Janus particles, it is crucial to effectively control and regulate their segmented morphologies. In this study, flow field and plasticization are introduced as novel factors in seeded emulsion ...
