A new delivery particle developed at MIT could make mRNA vaccines more effective and potentially lower the cost per vaccine dose. In studies in mice, the researchers showed that an mRNA influenza ...

Physicist Richard Feynman invented them to describe the interactions between real particles. This article was originally published at The Conversation. The publication contributed the article to Space ...

A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What happens to these particles within atoms would stay unexplained ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

Researchers found that patients with microplastics in their arterial plaque were 4.5 times more likely to have a heart attack, stroke, or die within three years. A 2025 study published in the New ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Jamie Hailstone is a U.K-based reporter, who covers sustainability.

Forget about turtles; for all practical purposes, it’s really particles all the way down. Consider the seemingly simple matter of their size, the very thing that makes them so alien. We’re typically ...

Abstract: We developed hot-wire-anemometers based on aluminum submicron-particle-filled polymer fiber Fabry–Pérot interferometers, designed to absorb a 980 nm-laser-diode and achieve elevated ...

Mathematicians have found a way to transform an unproductive quantum computing approach by reviving a class of previously discarded particles. Now, in a new study published in the journal Nature ...

A new video podcast from GBH and the producers of NOVA, hosted by Hakeem Oluseyi. Should we bring back extinct species? Are we missing a fundamental law of nature? What can ancient fossils tell us ...

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be ...
