Accurately modeling irregularly-shaped particles isn’t easy, but a new study found a way to improve a century-old idea.

It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and ...

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, ...

NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

(via Fermilab) Virtual particles are one of those topics of modern physics that just don’t sound real. How can particles just appear and disappear without anyone seeing them. In this video, Fermilab’s ...

A dense network of sensors is looking for the fleeting footprints of neutrinos, the most mysterious in the pantheon of known particles.

China is nearing completion of an advanced facility to measure neutrinos, the smallest subatomic particles known to physicists. Its underground central sphere will soon be sealed off and filled with ...

Hosted by astrophysicist and author Hakeem Oluseyi, the 10-episode series premieres August 26th on the NOVA YouTube channel, Apple, Spotify, and all major podcast platforms. In each episode, Oluseyi ...

ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS do not respond well to highly charged particles. Accelerated to near the speed of light by Earth’s magnetic field, such particles pack enough kinetic energy to cause damage. History ...
