Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

Responsive materials that morph and adapt like biological systems are non-trivial to design and manufacture. Researchers developed a co-design framework that unites AI, physics, and 3D printing into ...

At the foot of the thickly forested Dashi Hill, in southern China’s Guangdong province, pre-approved visitors can take a ride aboard a unique yellow train. Rather than winding through the serene ...

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) annulled the European Commission’s 2019 classification, concluding that the EU Risk Assessment Committee (RAC) relied on insufficient scientific evidence for its ...

To better evaluate the impact on living organisms of the widespread presence of titanium dioxide in the environment and measure the real exposure of animals and humans, scientists from INRAE, AP-HP, ...

I am Dr. Beverly Barnum, a senior application scientist at Bettersize Instruments. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry from California State University and later completed a Ph.D. in ...

Particle size has long been a key method for characterization. Most particle size measurement techniques are indirect and assume that all measured particles are round when providing size results.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. On a quiet pandemic afternoon in 2021, Zhiyuan Wang, then a graduate student at Rice University, was alleviating his boredom by working ...
