“Academy Researcher Heikki Mäntysaari from the Department of Physics at JYU uses paper, pencil and computer to investigate the properties and interactions of elementary particle matter. It is basic research that seeks answers to fundamental questions about how the universe works and what it is made of.”

A new mechanism was discovered in a study published in the journal Nature, which suggests that nitric acid, sulphuric acid and ammonia can together form aerosol particles and ice nuclei much more efficiently than previously understood. This mechanism is thought to be particularly significant in the cold environments.

The world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator has restarted after a break of more than three years for maintenance, consolidation, and upgrade work. Today, 22 April, afternoon two beams of protons circulated in opposite directions around the Large Hadron Collider’s 27-kilometre ring at their injection energy of 450 billion electronvolts (450 GeV).
