A global rush for bauxite, the ore of aluminum, is underway led by Chinese and U.S. companies. In the South American country of Suriname, Chinalco, a state-owned Chinese miner and metal producer ...

Aluminum foil is a kitchen staple for a reason—it's durable, affordable, and versatile, used for tasks ranging from baking and grilling to food storage, and more. Its heat resistance, flexibility, and ...

This revealed a never-before-seen range of higher energy cosmic ray electrons, all the way up to 40 TeV. Unfortunately, tracing back the source of cosmic ray electrons is tricky.

However, when it comes to atoms’ third component, electrons, the answer is not as easy. That’s because, as far as we know, electrons are fundamental particles. In other words, they have no ...

Let me help. In the 1940s aluminum-laminate skis with a wood core were coming about but didn’t take off until Howard Head jumped in the game. After his own challenge in learning to ski on ...

The most powerful cosmic-ray electrons and positrons ever detected slamming into Earth's atmosphere carry energies so high they can only have come from relatively close by, new research has revealed.

With data from 10 years of observations, researchers have now been able to detect cosmic electrons and positrons with an unprecedented energy of more than 10 tera-electronvolts. Since charged ...
