Microplastics scientists are finding the tiny particles everywhere, even in their own research laboratories. So how do they ...

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

The results are just what theory predicts, but when the theory clashes as strongly with everyday experience as this, ...

In a twist on conventional wisdom, researchers have discovered that in ocean-like fluids with changing density, tiny porous particles can sink faster than larger ones, thanks to how they absorb salt.

A recent study has uncovered compelling evidence suggesting that the climate effects of new particles in urban areas have been significantly underestimated. Particles play a crucial role in climate ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Tiny solid particles – like pollutants, cloud droplets and medicine powders – form highly concentrated clusters in turbulent environments like smokestacks, clouds and pharmaceutical ...

Mars has been viewed as a multi-millennial effort to terraform since the inception of the term, but there is new evidence ...

Although plastic particles in the air are increasingly coming into focus, knowledge about their distribution and effects is still limited. Chemical analyses from Leipzig now provide details from ...

A 2024 study by the French NGO Agir pour l’Environnement found that repeatedly opening and closing plastic soda bottles significantly increased the number of microplastic particles in the beverages.

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has detected a "high-energy neutrino emission from within the Milky Way," according to AAAS.
