But only in the last 70 years have we known for certain they were there. In 1956, physicists Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines ...

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 ...

Aerosols refer to fine solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere, where they reside typically for days to weeks before falling to the ground or being washed out by rain or snow. They arise ...

A complete survey of all the particle and antiparticle activity that goes on during the Sun’s 11-year cycle has found previously unknown ways these particles behave. Cosmic rays coming from outside ...

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 mission — known as Payload for Ultrahigh Energy Observations, or PUEO — lifted off Dec. 20, 2025, from NASA’s launch ...

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 ...

NASA has completed a series of scientific balloon flights over Antarctica during a campaign that began in early December.

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 ...

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 ...

Transmission electron micrograph of SARS-CoV-2 virus particles, isolated from a patient. Image captured and color-enhanced at the NIAID Integrated Research Facility (IRF) in Fort Detrick, Maryland.

Materials scientists are measuring the rolling friction of tiny, micrometer-sized particles. These measurements permit them to better understand everyday products such as concrete. For the first time, ...
