“This process can be likened to a bottle of sparkling water containing dissolved volatiles that exolve when the bottle is ...

Scientists at The University of Manchester have effectively simulated how bubbles grow in volcanic magma thanks to a novel pressure vessel that can mimic the eruption process in a laboratory setting.

The explosiveness of a volcanic eruption depends on how many gas bubbles form in the magma – and when. Until now, it was thought that gas bubbles were formed primarily when the ambient pressure ...

Ingo Sonder and Andrew Harp are two guys in upstate New York who make incredibly dangerous and risky explosions. Don't worry! It's for science. They're researchers at the University of Buffalo's ...

A new paper from scientists at The University of Manchester has discovered why some volcanic eruptions are more explosive than others. Basaltic eruptions are the most common form of volcanic eruption, ...

Popocatépetl volcano, also known simply as Popo, has exploded with vigour back in January. Analysis from NASA revealed the eruption shot ash up to 6,400 metres into the sky on January 6. Since then, ...
