High-energy particles in Earth's radiation belt can appear to spread out randomly, even when they are moving in a ...

Tiny particles such as ice crystals or ash particles tend to oscillate as they settle through the atmosphere. In their experiments, the scientists were able to track non-spherical particles of size ...

The processes that capture carbon from the atmosphere and store it on the seabed are crucial for climate balance. However, ...

Small particles from tires inhibited the growth and caused adverse behavioral changes in organisms found in freshwater and coastal estuary ecosystems, two new research papers found. Small particles ...

While science has a solid grasp on calculating drag and resistance on microscopic spherical objects, particles like dust, microplastics, and viruses are rarely spherical. A new study re-analyzes a ...

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

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 ...

The windy and chaotic remains surrounding recently exploded stars may be launching the fastest particles in the universe. Highly magnetic neutron stars known as pulsars whip up a fast and strong ...
