You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

What Are Atmospheric Aerosols Exactly 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 ...

Scientists have found hints that ghostly neutrinos may interact with dark matter. The unexpected link could help explain ...

Tiny particles such as ice crystals or ash particles tend to oscillate as they settle through the atmosphere. In their experiments, the scientists were able to track non-spherical particles of size ...

For decades, scientists have explored the enigmatic world of fundamental particles, uncovering the building blocks of our universe. But what if some of these particles, once deemed impossible, ...

Scientists have observed a unique particle that moves easily one way, yet resists at 90 degrees. These semi-Dirac fermions were observed using their energy signature in a topological metal. Particles ...

Materials scientists are measuring the rolling friction of tiny, micrometer-sized particles. These measurements permit them to better understand everyday products such as concrete. For the first time, ...

Previous research links tiny plastic particles to a range of adverse health conditions but largely stops short of ...

The fact that like charges repel and opposites attract is basic electromagnetism. But for decades scientists have occasionally made a counterintuitive, and controversial, observation: similarly ...
