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 anti ...

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 percent 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 of ...

Will the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies collide in several billion years? The odds have changed with a new study using 100,000 supercomputer simulations. Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center ...

Collisional resistivity saturation has a hard quantum ceiling, a University of Toronto experiment shows: ultracold ...

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 ...

Most theories claim the Moon formed out of the debris of a collision between the Earth and an object about the size of Mars, called Theia, coalescing in orbit over months or years. A new simulation ...

Researchers have developed a computer simulation of asteroid collisions that initially sought to replicate model asteroid strikes performed in a laboratory. After verifying the accuracy of the ...

Cross-section snapshots of 3D simulations of giant impacts using 30 to 100 million particles, coloured by their material or their internal energy, related to their temperature. CREDIT Jacob Kegerreis, ...
