Date Time Share Study Indicates That Humidity in Breath Makes Cotton Masks More Effective at Slowing Spread of COVID-19 A swatch of cotton fabric that has been exposed to high humidity typical of a person’s exhaled breath (left) filters out more droplets than a swatch of cotton fabric that has not been exposed to high humidity (right). Credit: NIST Researchers have come up with a better way to test which fabrics work best for masks that are meant to slow the spread of COVID-19. By testing ...

Physicists Just Found 4 New Subatomic Particles That May Test The Laws of Nature PATRICK KOPPENBURG, THE CONVERSATION 5 MARCH 2021 This month is a time to celebrate. CERN has just announced the discovery of four brand new particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva. This means that the LHC has now found a total of 59 new particles, in addition to the Nobel prize-winning Higgs boson, since it started colliding protons – particles that make up the atomic nucleus along with neutron...

Date Time Invisible smallest particles matter for air we breathe Researchers of the University of Helsinki have resolved for the first time, how the ultrafine particles of atmosphere effect on the climate and health. Atmospheric air pollution kills more than 10,000 people every day. The biggest threat to human health has been assumed to be the mass accumulation of atmospheric particles with diameter smaller 2.5 µm: the higher the mass and loss of visibility, the bigger the threat...

A star completely torn apart when it ventured too close to a black hole has given science a rare gift. For the first time, scientists have detected a high-energy neutrino that was flung out into space during one of these violent events.
