Bubbles burst when their caps rupture. Children discover this phenomenon every summer day, but it also underpins key mechanisms for the spread of pollutants, contaminants, and even infectious disease ...

A systematic study of aerosol jets from contaminated bubbles bursting has resulted in a theoretical model predicting the influence of contaminants on spray size, illustrating an important mechanism ...

A combination of sewage overflows and coastal winds could be sending billions of airborne microplastic particles into the ...

An invisible force has long eluded detection within the halls of the world’s most famous particle accelerator—until now.

The 11th Airborne Division’s current mission is to conduct “Multi-Domain Operations in the Indo-Pacific theater and the Arctic, and on order decisively defeat any adversary in extreme cold ...

Wildfire-induced deterioration of air quality leads to a substantial increase in indoor activities, fostering conditions conducive to transmission of airborne disease.

The detection of airborne small targets amidst cluttered environments poses significant challenges. Factors such as the susceptibility of a single RGB image to interference from the environment in ...

A first-principles model, airborne transmission via outdoor route (ATOR), was developed to simulate airborne pathogen generation, natural decay, outdoor dispersion, apartment entry, and inhalation ...

To address these gaps, our study analyzed size-resolved exhaled aerosol emissions and transmission potential of airborne epidemics during daily conversations with identical semantics across multiple ...
