You've probably read countless seed packets and planting guides that use words like "sandy," "clay," "loam," and "silt" to describe the ideal soil texture for what you're planting. But you might not ...

How many kinds of elementary particles should I say there are? In experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, physicists smash ...

From the early days of quantum mechanics, scientists have thought that all particles can be categorized into one of two groups — bosons or fermions — based on their behavior. “We determined that new ...

Nuclear physicists have found a new way to see inside nuclei by tracking interactions between particles of light and gluons. The method relies on harnessing a new type of quantum interference between ...

Scientists have created “acoustic holograms” that can assemble matter into 3D objects, using just sound. The technique works with various types of particles and even living cells, allowing for a new ...

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 ...

Micro- and nanoplastics are now popping up everywhere: in seawater, snow, food and even in our bodies. The very smallest ...
