Levitating particles in a vacuum
Levitation of both large objects and of single atoms has become a widely used technique in science and engineering. In the last years, many researchers have started to explore a new horizon: the levitation of nano- and micro-particles—still smaller.....»»
Agricultural soils are efficient ice nucleating particles in the southern great plains
INPs are a rare subset of atmospheric aerosol that can initiate ice formation in clouds. There is a significant gap between scientists' ability to measure INPs and to predict their concentrations and variability in large-scale weather and climate mod.....»»

Galaxy clusters could be used as dark matter colliders to understand nature of invisible particles, say scientists
What is dark matter? Even for astrophysicists, it's a question that remains unanswered. These invisible particles make up most of the matter in the universe and about a quarter of the universe as a whole. They are thought to be the cosmic glue that b.....»»
Unequal access to quantum information education may limit progress—now is the time to improve
Quantum information science uses the physics that describes the smallest particles—such as electrons or photons—to potentially revolutionize computing and related technologies. This new field can be used for a wide range of applications, from dev.....»»
Astrophysicists uncover supermassive black hole/dark matter connection in solving the "final parsec problem"
Researchers have found a link between some of the largest and smallest objects in the cosmos: supermassive black holes and dark matter particles......»»
Results suggests titanium-48"s nuclear structure changes when observed at varying distances
The world around us is made up of particles invisible to the naked eye, but physicists continue to gain insights into this mysterious realm. Findings published in Physical Review C by Osaka Metropolitan University researchers show that the nuclear st.....»»
New tractor beam technology could one day minimize biopsy trauma
Researchers at TMOS, the ARC Center of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems, have taken an important first step in the development of metasurface-enabled tractor beams—rays of light that can pull particles toward it, a concept that fi.....»»
