Restricting a strange class of particles known as anyons to one dimension could force them into adopting one of two new forms, models suggest, hinting at new fundamental interactions in particle ...

In the strange and fascinating world of quantum mechanics, particles have long been sorted into just two types: fermions and bosons. These labels help explain how matter forms and how forces work.

Researchers detected 19 types of microplastics in the urine of 10-year-old children, with particles present in over 91% of samples and a median concentration of 250 particles per milliliter. Greater ...

From the early days of quantum mechanics, scientists have thought that all particles can be categorized into one of two groups — bosons or fermions — based on their behavior. “We determined that new ...

Biotherapeutics continue to revolutionize how clinicians treat many human diseases. Protein therapies using molecules like peptides and monoclonal antibodies have become well established in the clinic ...

MIT scientists have designed self-boosting vaccines that release doses over time from a single injection. This breakthrough could make multi-shot vaccines one-and-done, protecting children in even the ...
