Accurately modeling irregularly-shaped particles isn’t easy, but a new study found a way to improve a century-old idea.

Physicists have produced experimental evidence that anyons, exotic quasiparticles long thought to exist only in ...

It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and ...

For decades, scientists have explored the enigmatic world of fundamental particles, uncovering the building blocks of our universe. But what if some of these particles, once deemed impossible, ...

This kind of ‘magic’ could lead to a computer revolution.

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider , the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set ...

China is nearing completion of an advanced facility to measure neutrinos, the smallest subatomic particles known to physicists. Its underground central sphere will soon be sealed off and filled with ...

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 ...

Dark matter keeps getting blamed for the universe’s big patterns while staying stubbornly out of reach. You cannot see it, touch it, or capture it.

Scientists have long known that injecting a large quantity of reflective particles into the upper atmosphere could cool the planet - Copyright NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ...

Atmospheric and climate scientists show that biological particles may induce rain events that could contribute to flooding and snowstorms, owing to their ability to precipitate ice formation in clouds ...

Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, unsettling uncertainties and—perhaps oddest of all—particles that spontaneously spring into being from the ...
