Earth has been feeding the moon for billions of years
New findings suggest that Earth’s magnetic field has played a surprising role in transporting particles from our atmosphere to the moon over vast stretches of time.
At first glance, the moon appears lifeless and inert. But its surface may tell a…

Physicists found hidden order in violent proton collisions
High energy proton collisions can be pictured as a roiling sea of quarks and gluons, including short lived virtual particles. At first glance, this extreme environment seems far more complex than the later stage, when fewer and more stable…
