In physics, some waves behave in a surprising way: instead of spreading out and fading, they hold their shape as they travel ...

Anne McNeil, University of Michigan and Madeline Clough, University of Michigan It seems like every day a new study finds tiny plastic particles called microplastics where they should not be: in our ...

A new method using light-nucleus strikes allows physicists to probe atomic structures with unprecedented precision.

The nature of quantum particles has long puzzled scientists. While single-particle interference suggests that a photon can ...

How does fine dust aggregate into building blocks that ultimately form entire planets like our Earth? A research team led by the University of Bern, with the participation of ETH Zurich, the ...

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 ...

In November, scientists arrived at the South Pole in planes outfitted with skis to pull off a construction project seven years in the making. They had a short summer window — November to early ...

When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three-dimensional space—things get divided nicely into ...

A window into how visible matter emerges from the "nothing" of vacuum has been opened by physicists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in New York. The ...

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 ...
