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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Satellite Collision Risk Shrinks to 2.8 Days, Study Warns CRASH Clock analysis shows collision risk surged as satellites ...

It’s difficult to predict with certainty what will happen when giant stars collide, but new, first-of-their-kind hydrodynamic simulations by the DEMOBLACK team at the University of Padova in Italy ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...
