By stacking custom-designed silver nanoparticles like nanoscale LEGO bricks, scientists stabilized a mysterious crystal phase that had never been observed before. The material not only solves a ...

New observations from Jupiter have now provided direct confirmation of the process.

Scientists have discovered that ultraheavy atomic nuclei could explain some of the highest-energy cosmic rays ever observed.

It measures about 15 miles (25 kilometres) in diameter and rotates 11 times every second, faster than a helicopter rotor.

IN FEBRUARY 2024 an article in the Wall Street Journal revealed that Stardust Solutions, an Israeli startup, was developing tiny particles which, if lofted into the stratosphere in sufficient number, ...

Particles raining down from space offer 3-D views inside swirling tropical storms. Muons created from cosmic rays that smash into Earth’s upper atmosphere have revealed the inner workings of cyclones ...

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, ...

While science has a solid grasp on calculating drag and resistance on microscopic spherical objects, particles like dust, microplastics, and viruses are rarely spherical. A new study re-analyzes a ...
