It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and other complex materials. But a team of Yale researchers led by Professor ...

You probably think you're making smart choices when you toss those organic vegetables into your reusable shopping bag or ...

The National Science Foundation's massive IceCube neutrino detector at the South Pole just got a major new upgrade, which promises to take the search for "ghost particles" to a new level.

Since 2010, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory has been searching for high-energy neutrinos from space. In recent years, it has already provided important insights into the nature of these particles and ...

How do nanostructures keep plastics transparent while improving toughness and light control? PMMA, polycarbonate, COC ...

New research finds bottled water contains twice as many plastic particles as tap water, with millions of nanoplastics per liter that can enter your bloodstream.

The famed collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory has ended operations, but if all goes to plan, a new collider will rise ...

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

Neutrinos have been with us since the beginning. They existed alongside prehistoric humans, dinosaurs and the first scattered crumbs of life on Earth. The birth of the solar system, the formation of ...

Drinking water in plastic bottles contains countless particles too small to see. New research finds that people who drink water from them on a daily basis ingest far more microplastics than those who ...

Scientists have managed to observe solar neutrinos carrying out a rare atomic transformation deep underground, converting carbon-13 into nitrogen-13 inside the SNO+ detector. By tracking two faint ...
