You may think you know static electricity, but its true nature has long eluded scientists. We’ve now made a huge leap towards ...

Developing a unified theory for liquid behaviour has long been a challenge due to the complex interactions between particles and the constantly changing dynamic disorder within liquids. Current ...

A new proposal makes the case that paraparticles—a new category of quantum particle—could be created in exotic materials.

Entanglement is perhaps one of the most confusing aspects of quantum mechanics. On its surface, entanglement allows particles to communicate over vast distances instantly, apparently violating the ...

Podcast: The Writer’s Voice Listen to Yiyun Li read “The Particles of Order.” “Oh, now I remember. One of Kierkegaard’s brothers died in New Jersey,” Ursula said. It was a stroke of luck.

Rosemary Fowler discovered a type of subatomic particle, the kaon—but left the university before earning her doctorate.

Adjustment for race is discouraged in lung-function testing, but the implications of adopting race-neutral equations have not been comprehensively quantified.

Quantum mechanics, or quantum physics, is the body of scientific laws that describe the wacky behavior of photons, electrons and the other subatomic particles that make up the universe.

This paper provides new evidence on the exchange rate passthrough to domestic inflation in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) using both bilateral US dollar exchange rate and the nominal effective exchange rate ...

In the new study, scientists developed a novel imaging technique which showed that the number of nanoplastic particles in bottled water was between 10 and 100 times higher than previously ...

Researchers found roughly 240,000 detectable plastic fragments in a typical liter of bottled water. Most of them were nanoplastics — particles less than 1 micrometer in size.

The top equations in astronomy include those describing Newton’s laws, Maxwell’s equations, Einstein’s relativity, and Hubble’s law.
