Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic fragments with sizes ranging from millimeters (<5 mm) to nanometers, have become a growing environmental and public health concern. First identified in the ...

Samples from Ryugu, a small, near-Earth asteroid, preserve natural remanent magnetization (NRM) from the early history of the solar system. However, despite multiple studies, there is currently no ...

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

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

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

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 ...
