Scientists question whether alarming reports of plastic particles in human organs are accurate or the result of laboratory contamination.

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 ...

Aerosols refer to fine solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere, where they reside typically for days to weeks before falling to the ground or being washed out by rain or snow. They arise ...

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

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, ...

Auroras occur when solar wind collides with Earth’s magnetic field, creating dazzling lights. Learn why auroras appear in red ...

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.

The universe, with its vastness and complexity, continues to confound scientists. Recently, the detection of anomalous particles has pointed towards even more mysteries waiting to be unravelled. These ...

Scientists have observed a unique particle that moves easily one way, yet resists at 90 degrees. These semi-Dirac fermions were observed using their energy signature in a topological metal. Particles ...

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

Titanium micro-particles in the oral mucosa around dental implants are common. This is shown in a new study which also identified 14 genes that may be affected by these particles. Titanium ...
