Scientists are using trapped ions in cutting-edge experiments to hunt for signs of an undiscovered particle that might help unravel the mystery of dark matter. The Standard Model of particle physics o ...

The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

The discovery, made with the LOFAR (LOw Frequency ARray) radio instrument in Europe, indicates that galaxy clusters, which ...

Biopolymer networks having a meshwork topology, e.g., extracellular matrices and mucus gels, are ubiquitous. Understanding the diffusion mechanism of self-propelled agents, including Janus colloidal ...

Now, a new study in the journal Environmental Science and Technology says it's possible that humans may be consuming anywhere from 39,000 to 52,000 microplastic particles a year.

Several electronic states with Σ, Π, and Δ symmetries for both Mg+-Kr and Mg-Kr systems are studied using an ab initio approach. These calculations employ pseudopotential techniques, core polarization ...

The Su–Schrieffer–Heeger (SSH) model can occur in a one-dimensional (1D) diatomic chain photonic crystal (PC) in which a unit cell includes two same slabs (atoms). With different intervals of the two ...

Aged dust particles act as 'chemical reactors in sky' to drive air pollution, study finds by University of Birmingham edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...

Credit: QuEra Computing Inc. Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the point of breaking.

What is reverse discrimination examples? What's the law? Reverse discrimination claims are difficult to prove, with the plaintiff having the burden to prove discrimination based on a prohibited basis.
