Physicist Mathieu Souzy of the University Twente was enjoying an evening of pasta and board games with several colleagues ...

Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don't always follow the rules of the physical world. They can ...

From the early days of quantum mechanics, scientists have thought that all particles can be categorized into one of two ...

Previous research, however, has failed to account for the “gravitational settling of particles” or how they stick together ...

Because coarse particles settle from the atmosphere relatively rapidly, particles accumulate in the diameter range of hundreds of nanometers and reside in what is known as the accumulation mode ...

What we’re really worried about is the PM2.5 levels,” or the fine particles in wildfire smoke, which have a diameter of less ...

From mysterious dark matter to the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei, the past 12 months have reiterated just how strange particle physics can be. Everything in the universe is, quite literally ...

Thanks to this setup, they could observe that particles tend to oscillate as they settle in quiescent air. "So far, most studies on the behavior of such small particles were done with models in ...
