Virtual particles exploit the natural fuzziness of the subatomic world, where if these ephemeral particles live briefly ...

Tiny solid particles — like pollutants, cloud droplets and medicine powders — form highly concentrated clusters in turbulent environments like smokestacks, clouds and pharmaceutical mixers. What ...

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.

Spruce tree needles contain tiny gold particles — and they could indicate large gold deposits beneath the surface.

Neutrinos, ghostly particles barely interacting with matter, may secretly be reshaping the fates of massive stars. New research suggests that as stars collapse, they form natural "neutrino colliders," ...

Titanium micro-particles in the oral mucosa around dental implants are common. This is shown in a new study which also identified 14 genes that may be affected by these particles. Titanium ...

The Mullard Space Science Laboratory, sited in a Victorian mansion in 30 acres (12 hectares) in the Surrey Hills, was founded ...

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has detected a "high-energy neutrino emission from within the Milky Way," according to AAAS.

A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What happens to these particles within atoms would stay unexplained ...
