The idea that everything that exists can be built from the bottom up has long held sway among physicists. Now, a new kind of ...

Researchers developed 3D printed, muscle-inspired magnetic actuators that push, pull, crawl, and grasp. The research paper describes a family of soft actuators that convert applied magnetic fields ...

For years, one tiny mismatch in particle physics carried outsized hopes. The muon, a heavier and short-lived cousin of the ...

Researchers have developed the EXOSense technology to capture tiny particles, called extracellular vesicles, from biofluids ...

A major obstacle in calculating the muon’s behavior is the strong force, the most powerful of the four fundamental forces, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak force. It binds quarks ...

NASA has shut down Voyager 1’s Low-energy Charged Particles instrument to conserve dwindling power, aiming to extend the ...

University at Buffalo researchers have discovered that uneven electric charges on particles in turbulent air cause them to form dense clusters. The study, published in PNAS, shows that patchy surface ...

Light near the surface of ultra-thin optical fibers allows sorting of chiral nanoparticles based on their handedness.

Physicists have taken a major step toward using AI not just to analyze data, but to uncover entirely new laws of nature. By ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most ...

Physicists have spent the last 20 years pondering an apparent discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science’s most successful theories, hinting at unknown forces or quantum objects. Now, an ...
