What if the Higgs boson found in 2012 is not alone but is the only sibling we have encountered so far? Scientists at CERN ...

But such measurements are notoriously challenging: the instruments used are themselves governed by quantum laws, and their interaction with particles can alter the very properties they are meant to ...

Human-made microbeads don’t always go with the flow. Under certain conditions, the artificial particles can align themselves with a fluid’s flow and then swim upstream, researchers report May 1 in ...

GENEVA (Reuters) - An international team of scientists said on Thursday they had recorded sub-atomic particles traveling faster than light -- a finding that could overturn one of Einstein's ...

Small particles from tires inhibited the growth and caused adverse behavioral changes in organisms found in freshwater and coastal estuary ecosystems, two new research papers found. Small particles ...

A study shows that similarly charged particles can sometimes attract, rather than repel. The team found that like-charged particles suspended in liquids can attract one another at long-range, ...

In new research, scientists find that flocks of birds may become ordered after a disordered start. The way flocks and other “collective motions” form has eluded scientists for a long time.

Scientists discovered microscopic magnetic particles in most bee species examined. This finding suggests a widespread ...

Alpha Centauri is the star system closest to our Solar System, and it is likely that particles from it could be making their way over to or already be in our stellar neighborhood. To know what to ...

About 1.2 miles beneath Antarctica, an underground observatory is hunting for "ghost particles." What it finds could reveal the unseen heart of a distant galaxy. Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer ...
