Microplastics are everywhere, but new research points to a need to standardize measurements of microparticles.

Microplastics might be wreaking havoc on the environment, but a new study states that the number of such particles in the atmosphere isn't as much as previously feared. However, they remain a major ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...

Scientists question whether alarming reports of plastic particles in human organs are accurate or the result of laboratory contamination.

The growing threat of microplastics might be daunting, but a promising study now suggests that the situation might not be as ...

When someone says “as white as snow,” it’s easy to envision what they’re talking about. We often think of snow as a dazzling ...

Like stretch marks left on skin that expanded too quickly or cracks embedded in freezing ice, cosmic strings are artifacts of ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

Earth just experienced a rare S4 solar radiation storm, the most intense since 2003 — powerful for satellites and astronauts, ...
