A new particle detector called PLATON could replace millions of tiny detector components with a single block of ...

Human-made microbeads don’t always go with the flow. Under certain conditions, the artificial particles can align themselves with a fluid’s flow and then swim upstream, researchers report May 1 in ...

Scientists discovered microscopic magnetic particles in most bee species examined. This finding suggests a widespread ...

Whether it's building separate bike lanes, improving public transportation, or increasing density in downtown areas, we have ...

But such measurements are notoriously challenging: the instruments used are themselves governed by quantum laws, and their interaction with particles can alter the very properties they are meant to ...

The mysterious origin of lightning was finally uncovered through an ingenious laboratory experiment, revealing the ...

Atmospheric and climate scientists show that biological particles may induce rain events that could contribute to flooding and snowstorms, owing to their ability to precipitate ice formation in clouds ...

GENEVA (Reuters) - An international team of scientists said on Thursday they had recorded sub-atomic particles traveling faster than light -- a finding that could overturn one of Einstein's ...

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 new research, scientists find that flocks of birds may become ordered after a disordered start. The way flocks and other “collective motions” form has eluded scientists for a long time.
