Before the RHIC shut down, it was the only operational particle collider in the U.S. and one of two heavy-ion colliders in the world, the other being the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland.

These newly discovered spinning crystals twist, break, and heal themselves, revealing a strange new side of solid matter.

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, ...

Notoriously ghostly particles called neutrinos may have revealed a crack in our understanding of all the particles and forces in the universe. The standard model of particle physics, which catalogues ...

Drinking water in plastic bottles contains countless particles too small to see. New research finds that people who drink water from them on a daily basis ingest far more microplastics than those who ...

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 ...

Small home appliances equipped with electric heating coils and brushed DC motors, like hair dryers, air fryers and toasters—can emit harmful tiny ultrafine particles that deteriorate indoor air ...
