In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...

"The strong association between burn pit smoke exposure and anthracotic particle burden is particularly compelling." Implications for veterans' health Lung diseases, including bronchiolitis and ...

DENVER - A new study led by researchers at National Jewish Health provides quantitative evidence linking burn pit smoke exposure during military deployment to increases in harmful carbon-based ...

Starting today, California is taking a stand against thirdhand smoke. While most people are well aware of the health threat of secondhand smoke — what you inhale from someone smoking a cigarette ...

You already know secondhand smoke is dangerous. A new study from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences shows a quieter threat can linger much longer indoors: ...

In one study, these particles from high-altitude wildfire smoke created a dramatic cooling effect not accounted for in current climate models. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

Most people know secondhand smoke is harmful — but thirdhand smoke? That’s the toxic residue tobacco leaves behind on surfaces like carpets, furniture, wall boards, and clothing, where it can linger ...

Using a precisely aligned pair of laser beams, scientists can now hold a single aerosol particle in place and monitor how it charges up. The particle’s glow signals each step in its changing ...

Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...

Machines like cyclotrons and synchrotrons help scientists recreate the conditions of the Big Bang and probe the very edges of particle physics. They also tend to be very big. Now, a new study details ...
