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 ...

Atmospheric aerosols, tiny liquid or solid particles suspended in the atmosphere, are thought to be responsible for a large fraction of the seeds that form cloud droplets. The CLOUD results show that ...

Openlab, a collaboration between CERN and five companies to develop technology to underpin the Large Hadron Collider experiment, will next concentrate on challenges such as cloud computing. Openlab, ...

At the CERN laboratory in Switzerland, particle physicist Jasper Kirkby studies the link between aerosols, cosmic rays and cloud formation, using the data to inform climate models. “It’s recognised by ...
