A little-known and highly dangerous earth metal used to craft spaceships has been found in wildfire-ravaged homes and in the ...

The particles clump together and form structures that resist movement. This behavior, common in dense materials, can make them hard to work with after storage.

This envelope of radio-emitting particles — a so-called "radio mini-halo," though it isn't really mini at all — is the most distant example of such a structure ever detected.

In brief ETH Zurich Materials Scientists are the first to measure the microscopic forces involved when particles in suspensions such as concrete or paint roll past each other. Previously, such ...

Researchers have found dishwashers in an average household release an estimated 33 million plastic particles each year. The University of Queensland (UQ) study ran brand new plastic containers ...

Astronomers have witnessed a planet causing eruptions on its parent star. The discovery, published in Nature, could reshape ...

We live our whole lives hearing about how our body is a temple, a wonderland, a sacred vessel... but sometimes, things happen ...

Colloids articles from across Nature Portfolio Colloids are particles that have a diameter of between approximately 1 and 1,000 nanometres and that are evenly dispersed in fluids. Colloids are ...

Researchers found microplastics in human reproductive fluids. The study revealed presence in follicular fluid and semen samples. Polytetrafluoroethylene was the most common plastic detected. Experts ...

Biopolymer networks having a meshwork topology, e.g., extracellular matrices and mucus gels, are ubiquitous. Understanding the diffusion mechanism of self-propelled agents, including Janus colloidal ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics ...

Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as a critical environmental pollutant, causing composite pollution through their widespread production, usage, and disposal, as well as their capacity to carry other ...
