    CLOUD experiment reveals a major new source of marine aerosol particles

    CLOUD experiment reveals a major new source of marine aerosol particles Clouds form when water vapour condenses onto tiny airborne particles known as aerosols. Once these particles grow larger than about 50 nanometres, they can act as cloud condensation nuclei, or CCN, on which cloud droplets form. Increased aerosol particles influence the climate in several…

    New ATLAS and CMS searches narrow the gap for compressed higgsinos

    New ATLAS and CMS searches narrow the gap for compressed higgsinos Supersymmetry plays a prominent role in the landscape of models that push beyond the Standard Model. Higgsinos, the supersymmetric partners of the Higgs boson, may help in addressing a number of unsolved puzzles, particularly if their masses are near the electroweak scale. Not only…
