Quantum particles have a social life, of a sort. They interact and form relationships with each other, and one of the most ...

Simulations show how disordered dusty plasma systems can organize into a segregated state with an external force.

Defecation is commonly treated as a universal feature of animal life, a visible outcome of digestion and metabolic turnover.

Microplastics in rivers, lakes, and oceans aren’t just drifting debris—they’re constantly leaking invisible clouds of ...

WIRED spoke with DeepMind’s Pushmeet Kohli about the recent past—and promising future—of the Nobel Prize-winning research ...

A research team reveals that sunlight, especially ultraviolet (UV) radiation, actively transforms microplastics into a distinct and chemically ...

Sunlight makes microplastics leak hidden chemicals into water, creating pollution that spreads far beyond plastic pieces.

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...
