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, ...

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.

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 ...

It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and ...

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

Scientists have long known that injecting a large quantity of reflective particles into the upper atmosphere could cool the planet - Copyright NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

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, ...

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 ...
