The fastest warming period since 1880 occurred in the past 30 years, according to a Washington Post analysis of NASA data.

As the climate crisis intensifies, interest in solar engineering is increasing, including among private companies and investors. But the technique is controversial and lacks regulation.

You've heard of the Big Bang, but have you heard of this BIG BANGER from Horrible Science? Sing along for the rest of time to ...

Scientists didn’t understand why independently oscillating microscopic particles suddenly begin moving in perfect sync when grouped together. Researchers showed that fluid-driven hydrodynamic ...

Hot drink lovers might want to think again before grabbing a cup of coffee or tea on-the-go, as disposable plastic cups have been found to release thousands of microplastics into drinks, a new study ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though quantum physics says their exact position is fundamentally uncertain. Now, ...

Small household appliances with electric heating coils and brushed DC motors—such as hairdryers, toasters and air fryers—are significant sources of ultrafine particles (UFP) that may pose health risks ...

For decades, scientists have scavenged for mysterious the “ghost particles” known as neutrinos, which are subatomic particles with no mass and almost no electrical charge. Despite their elusive nature ...

Dipangkar Dutta receives funding from US Dept. of Energy and NSF. A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What ...

Hypothetical particles called axions have been sought by physicists for decades, as they are the leading candidate for what makes up dark matter. But we may not need new experiments to find exotic ...

Forget about turtles; for all practical purposes, it’s really particles all the way down. Consider the seemingly simple matter of their size, the very thing that makes them so alien. We’re typically ...
