The atmosphere is full of tiny particles floating invisible to the naked eye, yet these microscopic specks wield extraordinary power over our planet's climate system. From desert dust swept thousands ...

The cleanest chamber ever built is allowing researchers at CERN to track the microscopic processes governing cloud formation, finds Matthew Chalmers Clean climate The CLOUD experiment is sensitive to ...

Scientists have long debated the role of clouds in climate change, with some arguing that they would make temperatures warmer while others arguing they might help cool the atmosphere. This is because ...
