Muons are a key subatomic particle in the discovery of new physics, but after particle collision, they’re difficult to track.

What are microplastics? Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that are small and durable. These particles can accumulate in water, soil, air and living organisms, raising both environmental ...

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 ...

Although plastic particles in the air are increasingly coming into focus, knowledge about their distribution and effects is still limited. Chemical analyses from Leipzig now provide details from ...

A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the standard model.

MIT scientists have designed self-boosting vaccines that release doses over time from a single injection. This breakthrough could make multi-shot vaccines one-and-done, protecting children in even the ...

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 pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday three-dimensional space, that swap only comes in two flavors. Either the ...
