Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A University of Copenhagen team used stellar models and Gaia data to map neutrinos from Milky Way stars and predict the flow to ...

What makes up the matter we perceive in the universe? To start, there are the usual suspects, like electrons, protons, quarks and neutrinos. But if those particles aren't strange enough for you, I'm ...

They’re called ghost particles for a reason. They’re everywhere – trillions of them constantly stream through everything: our bodies, our planet, even the entire cosmos – without us noticing. These so ...

Known as semi-Dirac fermions, particles with this bizarre behavior were first predicted 16 years ago. The discovery was made in a semi-metal material called ZrSiS, made up of zirconium, silicon and ...

Phase transitions in the collective motions of self-propelled particles are directly impacted both by the initial velocity of each particle, and the repulsive radius surrounding them. Collective ...

Imagine a liquid that flows freely one moment, then stiffens into a near-solid the next, and then can switch back with a simple change in temperature. Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker ...

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.

They slip through your skin, your walls, and the whole Earth without leaving a mark. Neutrinos earn the nickname “ghost particles” because they almost never interact with anything. Yet those rare ...
