Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don't always follow the rules of the physical world. They can exist in two places at once, pass through solid barriers and even ...

Theoretical physicists have proposed the existence of a new type of particle that doesn’t fit into the conventional classifications of fermions and bosons. Their “paraparticle,” described in Nature in ...

Cleanrooms are designated as controlled environments where the levels of airborne particles are carefully regulated. Their construction and utilization are meticulously planned to minimize the ingress ...

Measuring plastic particles carried on Cozumel’s sea breezes and ocean currents reveals how simple physics shapes the ...

With Raman microscopy, there's an additional layer of complexity: fluorescence. Particle fluorescence can overwhelm the Raman ...

Plastics surround us, whether it's the grocery bags we use at the supermarket or household items such as shampoo and detergent bottles. Plastics don't exist only as large objects, but also as ...
