Over the past few years, studies have suggested that plastic particles from bottles, food packaging and waste have been ...

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 ...

Scientists have found new evidence that a pattern of “flow” observed in particles streaming ...

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 ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

ISRO’s Cosmic Dust Experiment detects interplanetary particles in orbit, revealing hidden cosmic traffic, advancing India’s space science and providing global insights into space hazards and satellite ...

The fact that like charges repel and opposites attract is basic electromagnetism. But for decades scientists have occasionally made a counterintuitive, and controversial, observation: similarly ...
