step forward in the understanding of processes of collision at such scales. It plays an essential part in estimating the energy of the impact which should be necessary, depending on its size, to ...

Earth could have lost anywhere between ten and 60 per cent of its atmosphere in the collision that is thought to have formed the Moon. New research led by Durham University, UK, shows how the extent ...

Antihydrogen is a particular kind of atom, made up of the antiparticle of an electron -- a positron -- and the antiparticle of a proton -- an antiproton. Scientists hope that studying the formation of ...

From the University of California, Santa Cruz comes this story about how a new analysis of images from the Hubble Space Telescope combined with supercomputer simulations of galaxy collisions has ...

Droplet collision dynamics represent a fundamental process in numerous industrial and environmental applications, from fuel injection systems and spray drying to microfluidic devices and rocket engine ...

Scientists from the Durham University and University of Glasgow worked together in developing simulations using supercomputers that may explain how the Moon may have formed after a collision between ...

Computer simulations show that a crash between evenly sized planetoids creates a Pluto and a Charon, plus a debris disk that could have become Pluto's other two satellites. John Matson reports Imagine ...

There was a time when self-driving cars taking over the roads was a distant vision. Today, the situation has changed dramatically. Although autonomous vehicles (AVs) took longer than expected to make ...
