Just as dust gathers in corners and along bookshelves in our homes, dust piles up in space too. But when the dust settles in the solar system, it’s often in rings. Several dust rings circle the Sun.

Static electricity could remove dust from desert solar panels, saving around 45 billion litres of water every year. Some of the largest solar farms in the world are in deserts, such as Mohammed bin ...

The study of dust dynamics in the solar system encompasses the investigation of the origins, transport, and interactions of micrometre‐ and nanometre‐scaled particles within the complex heliospheric ...

New supercomputer simulations tracking the interactions of thousands of dust grains show what the solar system might look like to alien astronomers searching for planets. The models also provide a ...

(Nanowerk News) Until recently, cosmochemists and astrophysicists assumed that supernovae and their progenitors, the supergiant stars, contributed only little of our solar system’s stardust content.

South African researchers have developed a new cleaning system for solar panels that uses a color-sensing light-to-frequency converter to detect dirt. It can reportedly remove around 95% of the dust ...
