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

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, ...

Dark matter keeps getting blamed for the universe’s big patterns while staying stubbornly out of reach. You cannot see it, touch it, or capture it.

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

This kind of ‘magic’ could lead to a computer revolution.

The word “ atom ” is from the Greek word atomos, which means “uncuttable”. This is the smallest particle in the universe that behaves “normally”. Normal behaviour for a particular atom means that it ...

A portable detector the size of a cookie box reveals in real time the cosmic particles that pass through your body every ...

The photograph, titled “Underwater Hunting,” was a finalist for the 2025 Global Physics Photowalk. The competition, held ...

Scientists are continuing to uncover the true extent of our plastic pollution problem, and increasingly we are seeing an emphasis placed on its potential effects on the human body. The latest ...

In nanoscale particle research, precise control and separation have long been a bottleneck in biotechnology. Researchers at the University of Oulu have now developed a new method that improves ...

Empty space, despite how we think of it, may not be as empty as we assume. Although we cannot detect the virtual particles present in empty space, their presence is necessary to predict, ...
