A deeper fundamental understanding of complex materials may now be possible, due to a new insight into how crystals form. A previously unknown mathematical relationship between the different ...

An unusual arrangement of particles has been discovered in the cells of chicken eyes. It’s the first time scientists have seen such a system in a biological system — one that allows materials to ...

Substances can exist in three states of matter - solid, liquid and gas. All substances are made from particles, and the forces between the particles are different in solids, liquids and gases. The ...

Researchers have solved an apparently overwhelming physics problem involving some truly huge numbers. In summary, the problem asks you to imagine that you have 128 tennis balls, and can arrange them ...

(ISNS) -- Almost nothing is more obvious than the fact that time flows from the past, which we remember, toward the future, which we don’t. Scientists and philosophers call this the psychological ...

Dive into the intriguing world of matter and uncover the fundamental building blocks that make up everything around us, from the air we breathe to the stars in the sky. Matter surrounds us, forming ...

After decades of poking around in the math behind the glue holding the innards of all matter together, physicists have found a strange hypothetical particle, one that has never appeared in any ...
