Global measurements and model calculations show that the complex relationship between the chemistry and climate impact of aerosol particles can be successfully captured by a simple formula. The extent ...

Tire particles might seem tasty, if you’re a fish—but a new study shows how this pervasive microplastic can affect growth and ...

A recent study has uncovered compelling evidence suggesting that the climate effects of new particles in urban areas have been significantly underestimated. Particles play a crucial role in climate ...

The crystallisation of lipids in suspensions is influenced by the presence of the suspended material, in contrast to crystallisation in bulk lipids. In this research, the impact of carbohydrate ...

Despite their widespread adoption, particle-scale simulation methods, such as the Discrete Element Method (DEM), for electrically charged particles in several natural processes and industrial ...

A University of Melbourne researcher has placed the strongest constraints yet on certain rare decays of subatomic particles, narrowing the window for where new "hidden" particles could be lurking.
