A stable graphene signal suggests some quantum particles can remember past interactions, a key step toward quantum computing.

Several years ago, scientists discovered that a single microscopic particle could rock back and forth on its own under a ...

Some things are easier to achieve if you're not alone. As researchers from the University of Rostock, Germany have shown, this very human insight also applies to the most fundamental building blocks ...

But only in the last 70 years have we known for certain they were there. In 1956, physicists Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines ...

I n 2016, NASA launched the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) probe, which famously touched down on asteroid Bennu in 2020, before ...

A strange, glowing form of matter called dusty plasma turns out to be incredibly sensitive to magnetic fields. Researchers found that even weak fields can change how tiny particles grow, simply by ...

Scientists didn’t understand why independently oscillating microscopic particles suddenly begin moving in perfect sync when grouped together. Researchers showed that fluid-driven hydrodynamic ...

As air fryers become a staple in modern kitchens, scientists are beginning to examine how they affect the air inside our homes. A new study from the University of Birmingham suggests that air fryers ...

In a study, physicists now observed a class of quantum particles called fractional excitons, which behave in unexpected ways and could significantly expand scientists' understanding of the quantum ...

Micro- and nanoplastics are increasingly detected in human tissues, including the brain, and experimental evidence suggests ...
