It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and ...

Scientists have observed a unique particle that moves easily one way, yet resists at 90 degrees. These semi-Dirac fermions were observed using their energy signature in a topological metal. Particles ...

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

Scientists at the University of Warwick have cracked a long-standing problem in air pollution science: how to predict the movement of irregularly shaped nanoparticles as they drift through the air we ...

The research underscores growing concerns about how ultra-small plastic particles move through marine ecosystems and into foods people rely on.

Physicists show how microscopic particles can harness fluctuations and external forces to minimize transport energy and even extract usable work. A particle (red sphere) is guided from left to its ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday ...
