Planets are formed when dust and rock in a disk around a young star collide and combine to form ever larger bodies. This so-called accretion is not yet fully understood. Astrophysicists at the ...

The paper presents the first experimental observation of an atypical phenomena during self-organization of dust particles into a one-dimensional chain structure levitated vertically in the plasma of a ...

Billowing clouds of the stuff struck a severe blow to the American heartland during the 1930s, ruining wheat crops and forcing farming families to flee westward. Apollo astronauts tracked it into the ...

In the mid eighties of the last century, plasma assisted chip production suffered from drop outs due to generated dust particles. This dilemma was the spark, which established the new research field ...

This is an electron microscope image of a dust particle rounded by eolian transport. It originated in the Sahara desert and was found in 7.2 million year old sediments in Greece. Disclaimer: AAAS and ...

A dust sensor is an optical electronic system to detect fine particles such as dust. In principle, an optical dust sensor detects the dust particle concentration the in air by using an optical sensing ...
