Particle measurements in ultra-pure water (UPW) systems can take a long time to return to a stable baseline after an incident that disrupts regular operation (such as a maintenance shutdown). A ...

A weird force that skirts traditional physics norms has helped erase a smudge on the foundations of particle physics. It’s a phenomenon called the “neutrino force,” by which neutrinos could ...

Our planet is under a constant bombardment of radiation—from space. Well, maybe it’s not as scary as that makes it seem. “Radiation” is a catchall term astronomers use for forms of light—including ...
