A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic ...

Global measurements and model calculations show that the complex relationship between the chemistry and climate impact of aerosol particles can be successfully captured by a simple formula. The extent ...

With advance warning, however, steps can be taken to reduce the risks. If an electrical grid is running near capacity, for ...

Numerical analysis of the effect of thermo- and diffusiophoretic forces on the motion of moderately large (0.01 ≲ Kn ≲ 0.3) combustion-generated (soot) particles and on the formation of soot-shell ...

The tiniest particles of airborne pollution may affect the weather, new research suggests—even in some of the most pristine parts of the world. A study published in the journal Science found that ...

Plastic debris is one of the most serious environmental challenges our oceans face. It affects marine organisms, habitats and ecosystems, as well as the health and well-being of people, particularly ...
