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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

According to the DEMOBLACK simulation, such a behemoth could arise when big stars, like those found densely packed in a stellar nursery, unite. Previous simulations have modeled collisions between low ...

Tens of kilometers above Earth's surface, high-energy particles from outer space constantly strike the atmosphere, creating ...

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 ...

New simulations of two black holes colliding near the speed of light reveal the mysterious physics of what one astrophysicist calls "one of the most violent events you can imagine in the universe." ...

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it’s more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To ...

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 ...

One of the challenges for the models attempting to unravel the processes that shaped Mercury, the smallest planet in the Solar System, is finding a plausible scenario capable of explaining a unique ...
