The origins of the extremely high-energy particles that permeate the Universe, including protons, electrons, and neutrinos, continue to be one of the most enduring enigmas in contemporary astrophysics ...

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 ...

The results are just what theory predicts, but when the theory clashes as strongly with everyday experience as this, ...

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

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, ...

Transmission electron micrograph of SARS-CoV-2 virus particles, isolated from a patient. Image captured and color-enhanced at the NIAID Integrated Research Facility (IRF) in Fort Detrick, Maryland.

Tiny aerosol particles in the air play a big role in regulating how much sunlight our planet absorbs or reflects, and how clouds form above us. In a recent study, researchers found that extreme heat ...

In A Nutshell Scientists discovered a previously unknown form of mixing that occurs when large groups of dense particles ...

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 ...
