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 ...

Dispersion paints are mostly used in households for painting walls and ceilings. An interdisciplinary research team from the University of Bayreuth has now analysed the chemical composition of two ...

A study examining how nanoplastics interact with brain proteins has identified a possible mechanism that could contribute to neurodegenerative diseases.

Researchers performed the state-of-the-art instrumentation at the top of the Beijing Meteorological Tower to investigate the influence of new particles on cloud formation. Particles play a crucial ...

While braking in your car may protect you from accidents and save your life, it could actually be harmful to your health in other ways, new research has found. Particles released into the air as ...

Scientists are sounding the alarm over the potential health and environmental impacts of pollution from tire particles. A new study is calling attention to the unique hazards posed by tire particle ...

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

MIT researchers have delivered a type of vaccine called a particulate vaccine to mice using a virus-mimicking scaffold made from particles of DNA instead of the usual protein particles. It not only ...

Tiny particles of plastic have been found everywhere — from the deepest place on the planet, the Mariana Trench, to the top of Mount Everest. And now more and more studies are finding that ...
