New ALMA and JWST observations reveal why Wolf–Rayet star WR 112 produces tiny dust grains, showing a bimodal grain ...

What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

Accurately modeling irregularly-shaped particles isn’t easy, but a new study found a way to improve a century-old idea.

Samples from Ryugu, a small, near-Earth asteroid, preserve natural remanent magnetization (NRM) from the early history of the solar system. However, despite multiple studies, there is currently no ...

China is nearing completion of an advanced facility to measure neutrinos, the smallest subatomic particles known to physicists. Its underground central sphere will soon be sealed off and filled with ...

Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic fragments with sizes ranging from millimeters (<5 mm) to nanometers, have become a growing environmental and public health concern. First identified in the ...

In a study, physicists now observed a class of quantum particles called fractional excitons, which behave in unexpected ways and could significantly expand scientists' understanding of the quantum ...

Hosted by astrophysicist and author Hakeem Oluseyi, the 10-episode series premieres August 26th on the NOVA YouTube channel, Apple, Spotify, and all major podcast platforms. In each episode, Oluseyi ...
