A stable graphene signal suggests some quantum particles can remember past interactions, a key step toward quantum computing.

Scientists question whether alarming reports of plastic particles in human organs are accurate or the result of laboratory contamination.

Auroras occur when solar wind collides with Earth’s magnetic field, creating dazzling lights. Learn why auroras appear in red ...

Several years ago, scientists discovered that a single microscopic particle could rock back and forth on its own under a ...

Plastic pollution is not just in oceans and soil. Scientists have now found enormous amounts of microscopic plastic floating through urban air, far exceeding earlier estimates. Road dust and rainfall ...

Aerosols refer to fine solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere, where they reside typically for days to weeks before falling to the ground or being washed out by rain or snow. They arise ...

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 ...

But only in the last 70 years have we known for certain they were there. In 1956, physicists Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines ...

Some things are easier to achieve if you're not alone. As researchers from the University of Rostock, Germany have shown, this very human insight also applies to the most fundamental building blocks ...

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 ...
