It is possible to make a material emit more radiation than it absorbs, violating the laws of physics in a way that could make ...

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong studying the structure of 2D materials have predicted new types of phase transitions that have yet to be seen in experiments ...

It’s relatively easy to explain how an arrangement of particles could be functionally conscious. That’s because a “function” can be defined in wholly physical terms.

But if those particles aren't strange enough for you, I'm here to help. There are other particles that are so rare, we're not even sure they exist. Here are five of the weirdest, rarest ...

Researchers found roughly 240,000 detectable plastic fragments in a typical liter of bottled water. Most of them were nanoplastics — particles less than 1 micrometer in size.
