PSCs are a new type of technology that uses a unique crystal structure to harvest light. They are thinner, lighter, and potentially much cheaper to produce than the traditional silicon panels seen on ...

The Alpha Centauri star system is just 4.2465 light-years away – a relative hop, skip, and a jump in a galaxy 100,000 light-years across. Wouldn't it be great to visit? Not just with a fleet of puny ...

Moon dust is sharp, corrosive, and potentially fatal. NASA’s new electric force field shield is designed to blast it away. Amy Fritz, a dust-mitigation researcher at Johnson Space Center, pours ...

Due to the unique conditions of the space environment and abundant resources, the field investigation and study of the Moon, Earth’s sole natural satellite, represent a crucial milestone in China’s ...

Space dust provides more than just awe-inspiring pictures like the Pillars of Creation. It can provide the necessary materials to build everything from planets to asteroids. But what it actually looks ...

Indoor air pollutant levels are often two to five times higher than outdoor levels, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This means that even after cleaning, the indoor air still ...

Dust storms have always swirled through parts of North America, but they are becoming more unexpected and destructive and landing in places unfamiliar with the danger, scientists warn. In May 2023, a ...

Create an epic Particle Shockwave Glowing Dust Effect in After Effects — and get a free sample to use in your own projects! This tutorial shows you how to add cinematic energy bursts and glowing dust ...

Physicists have used a machine-learning method to identify surprising new twists on the non-reciprocal forces governing a many-body system. The work is one of the relatively few instances of using AI ...

A team of NASA-funded UCF researchers is pioneering a new nanocoating to passively mitigate the effects of lunar dust, protect equipment and ultimately extend future lunar missions. Lunar dust is more ...

Since at least 2016, a rumor has circulated online that "a speck of dust is halfway between the size of" an atom and Earth. However, Wendy Taylor, a particle physicist and professor of physics and ...
