An 11-year-long survey of the particles and antiparticles near our sun is unlocking our solar system’s history – and raising new mysteries about the particles themselves. “It’s like when you walk into ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of chemical reactions to producing highly reliable weather forecasts. For now, ...

The study was led by Professor Richard Schmidt and his Quantum Matter Theory group, including doctoral student Eugen Dizer. It was published in Physical Review Letters and funded by Heidelberg ...

Physicists have done a remarkable job explaining the chaos of the universe with well-behaved equations, but certain situations remain mysterious. Among these are collections of many tiny particles — ...

The types of glass that we encounter in everyday life, such as window glass or smartphone screens, are disordered solids. This means that they consist of particles locked in place, like those in ...

A recent study has uncovered compelling evidence suggesting that the climate effects of new particles in urban areas have been significantly underestimated. Particles play a crucial role in climate ...

Magnetite, a particle found in air pollution, can induce signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, new research suggests. Magnetite, a tiny particle found in air pollution, can induce signs and ...

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image and fluorescence image of fluorescent magnetic Janus particles (top left), Schematic diagram of N protein detection using antibody-conjugated fluorescent ...

Particle size characterization in nanosuspensions often focuses on ‘majority’ features of the size distribution. Yet, for various suspensions in (bio)pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals, small fractions ...
