A new type of lidar is allowing physicists to study cloud tops at a resolution 100 to 1,000 times higher than before.

Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators have developed a new type of lidar—a laser-based remote-sensing ...

The cloud chamber detects secondary cosmic rays and radioactive decays by making alcohol clouds along the particle paths through the chamber. Particles ionize alcohol molecules as they pass through ...

Graduate students analyze cloud formation data with research scientist Jesse Anderson, using the Pi Cloud Chamber to study atmospheric processes. × Michigan Tech's Pi Cloud Chamber is giving ...

When it comes to climate change, clouds are the wild card. Atmospheric physicists at Michigan Tech use a turbulence-generating cloud chamber to better understand the details and droplets. There are ...

What do you do onceyou’ve built a cloud chamber using party supplies? If you’re Cloudylabs, you load it up with a chunk of uranium and watch the physics happen. Here’s How To Build Your Own Cloud ...

Olivia Donovan of Halifax, Nova Scotia sent us a link to this video she made about how to make a diffusion cloud chamber from simple household items. My favourite bit is when Olivia (age 15) ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Back in 2007, when I'd just moved to Los ...

[Advanced Tinkering] over on YouTube has some pretty unique content, on subjects of chemistry and physics that are a little more, interesting let’s say — anyone fancy distilling cesium? The subject of ...

Want to visualize radioactive particles? You don’t need a boatload of lab equipment. Just a cloud chamber. And [Curious Scientist] is showing off an improved miniature cloud chamber that is easy to ...
