The types of glass that we encounter in everyday life, such as window glass or smartphone screens, are disordered solids. This means that they consist of particles locked in place, like those in ...
Abstract: This article investigates the influence of high-energy secondary electrons on a Ka-band TM03 relativistic backward-wave oscillator (RBWO) using the particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation code ...
Abstract: We present a novel particle-grid scheme for simulating bubble and foam flow. At the core of our approach lies a particle representation that combines the computational nature of moving least ...
The particle collider smashes together atomic nuclei—comprised of particles called protons and neutrons—to break them into their smaller components. Tiffany Bowman / Brookhaven National Laboratory For ...
The Sun unleashes a torrent of charged particles. Some of them slam into the Earth’s atmosphere, triggering breathtaking auroras in the night sky. But for equipment that’s orbiting our planet in outer ...
Curious Kids is a series for children of all ages. If you have a question you’d like an expert to answer, send it to CuriousKidsUS@theconversation.com. Is the whole universe just a simulation?
I peeked in on the house-sized particle detector known as STAR just after it took its last-ever snapshot of one of the most extreme types of fireball ever created. Inside, the conditions just after ...
