Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) As technology advances toward flexible, adaptive devices, traditional electronics are hitting their limits due to rigidity and power demands. But what if materials themselves ...

When NASA’s twin Voyager probes left Earth in 1977, they carried computers weaker than a hand calculator and a modest goal of touring the outer planets. No one seriously expected them to redraw the ...

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

Microplastics — pesky particles that have contaminated our air, water, food and bodies — have been linked to a higher risk of inflammation, hormone disruption, DNA damage, respiratory illnesses and ...

Breathing in polluted air could lead to toxic particles being transported from lungs to brain, via the bloodstream -- potentially contributing to brain disorders and neurological damage, a new study ...
