Tiny particles such as ice crystals or ash particles tend to oscillate as they settle through the atmosphere. In their experiments, the scientists were able to track non-spherical particles of size ...

A new study has measured the levels of indoor air pollution emitted by everyday home appliances, revealing which ones you ...

Scientists search for "decaying" dark matter (DDM) because it offers unique signatures like specific X-ray or gamma-ray lines ...

At every moment, subatomic particles stream in unfathomable numbers through your body. Each second, about 100 billion neutrinos from the sun pass through your thumbnail, and you’re bathed in a rain of ...

Physicists have found evidence of X particles in the quark-gluon plasma produced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, based near Geneva, ...

The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

Using sound to get objects to float works well if a single particle is levitated, but it causes multiple particles to collapse into a clump in mid-air. Physicists at the Institute of Science and ...

The idea of the tachyon particle first gained traction in the early 1900s, when Albert Einstein theorized that a particle that could travel faster than the speed of light could exist. The term wasn't ...

Microplastics in the workplace reveal the hidden costs of convenience. Here’s how leaders can reduce exposure, strengthen ...
