A peer-reviewed study published in Science has documented frequent new particle formation during a heat wave, a phenomenon ...

Tiny aerosol particles in the air play a big role in regulating how much sunlight our planet absorbs or reflects, and how clouds form above us. In a recent study, researchers found that extreme heat ...

Arts and Science researchers developed particles that use sound waves to swing in the air without external forces to determine their rate of oscillation. The discovery could further research on other ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

Counter-intuitive finding suggests particle formation from natural and anthropogenic organic compounds might increase during extreme heat events ...

Physicists at NYU have discovered a new type of time crystal—an exotic state of matter whose particles rhythmically “tick” while levitating on sound waves.

Physicists have finally watched positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a tiny billiard ball. In a set of ...

A common sunscreen ingredient, zinc nanoparticles, may help protect rice from heat-related stress, an increasingly common problem under climate change. Zinc is known to play an important role in plant ...

New observations show a small Saturn moon has generated electromagnetic waves that extend more than 313,000 miles behind it inside Saturn’s magnetic field. That newly measured reach reveals a tiny icy ...
