We have discovered legions of strange particles that seem to only have a ghostly existence inside materials. Even so, they are the basis of much modern technology - so are they actually real?

Earlier this year, new research suggested a potential solution to one of the most troubling aspects of modern physics — that ...

Galactic bones, filaments of radio-wave-emitting particles, run through our galaxy, and one of them has a fracture. New analysis suggests collision with a neutron star may have caused it.

Researchers have detailed the physics behind a phenomenon that allows them to create spin in liquid droplets using ultrasound waves, which concentrates solid particles suspended in the liquid. The ...

By a suspension, materials scientists mean a liquid in which tiny, insoluble solid particles are evenly distributed. If the concentration of particles in such a mixture is very high, phenomena can be ...

Coarse-grained particles are connected by bonds to form a network structure. Particles are connected by soft but ductile bonds to form a rubber-like network. Particles in the crystalline region are ...

Stress of stretching solids: 3-D image shows how particles distribute in ... The particles are then drawn out into a thinner rearrangement, but they must be carefully controlled to ... They found that ...

Outdoor air pollution was estimated to cause 4.2 million premature deaths worldwide per year as of 2019. This is largely due to exposure to particulate matter (PM), a combination of tiny solid ...

Novel storage material for solid-state batteries is the focus of the project “FB2-SiSuFest – Evaluation of silicon anodes in sulfide solid-state batteries”. As a promising anode material ...
