Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...

※Editor's Note: Located on the Giza Plateau in Egypt, the Pyramid of Khufu is the first of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. At 139m high with a base of 230m, it is the largest of the pyramids ...

The cloud chamber detects secondary cosmic rays and radioactive decays by making alcohol clouds along the particle paths through the chamber. Particles ionize alcohol molecules as they pass through ...

Bubble chambers, which were first used in the 1950s to detect electrically charged particles, might sound as if they should belong firmly to particle-physics history books. Now, however, physicists ...

There has never been a more exciting time to study the exciting discipline of physics, spanning the workings of the sub-atomic world to the ever-expanding universe. The BS Physics Program in the ...

What do you do onceyou’ve built a cloud chamber using party supplies? If you’re Cloudylabs, you load it up with a chunk of uranium and watch the physics happen. Here’s How To Build Your Own Cloud ...

An international team of scientists has discovered a large hidden cavity within Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza, and they did it by looking for muons — particles sent to Earth by cosmic rays from space.

Olivia Donovan of Halifax, Nova Scotia sent us a link to this video she made about how to make a diffusion cloud chamber from simple household items. My favourite bit is when Olivia (age 15) ...
