Nanotechnology is reshaping dermatology by improving drug delivery, photoprotection, barrier repair, follicular targeting, and antimicrobial activity across conditions such as acne, psoriasis, atopic ...

A major physics experiment has uncovered evidence for a strange new form of matter, where a fleeting particle gets trapped inside a nucleus. This exotic state may reveal how mass is generated, ...

Our planet is under a constant bombardment of radiation—from space. Well, maybe it’s not as scary as that makes it seem. “Radiation” is a catchall term astronomers use for forms of light—including ...

A new particle has popped into existence at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, a heavier proton-like particle that contains two charm quarks. Protons and neutrons are examples of a class of particles ...

Scientists from the University of Manchester have played a leading role in the discovery of a new subatomic particle at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The particle, known as the Ξ cc ⁺ ...

Nanomaterials ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in size have attracted significant scientific interest because their properties often differ from those of their bulk counterparts. These differences ...

The Sun unleashes a torrent of charged particles. Some of them slam into the Earth’s atmosphere, triggering breathtaking auroras in the night sky. But for equipment that’s orbiting our planet in outer ...

Cosmic rays are extremely fast, charged particles that travel through space at nearly the speed of light. The Amaterasu particle was detected in 2021 by the Telescope Array experiment in the U.S. It ...

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists at MIT discovered a method to create a kind of particle accelerator using a molecule of radium monofluoride. Once excited by lasers in a ...
