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

A dense network of sensors is looking for the fleeting footprints of neutrinos, the most mysterious in the pantheon of known ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us. They come from cosmic rays—high-energy particles that can originate from exploding ...

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

The photograph, titled “Underwater Hunting,” was a finalist for the 2025 Global Physics Photowalk. The competition, held ...

Up to 11. 5 million plastic particles can show up in a single liter of bottled water, at least in a small slice of samples tested by a team working near Lake Erie.

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

ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS do not respond well to highly charged particles. Accelerated to near the speed of light by Earth’s magnetic field, such particles pack enough kinetic energy to cause damage. History ...

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 ...
