The universe, with its vastness and complexity, continues to confound scientists. Recently, the detection of anomalous particles has pointed towards even more mysteries waiting to be unravelled. These ...

Neutrinos, ghostly particles barely interacting with matter, may secretly be reshaping the fates of massive stars. New research suggests that as stars collapse, they form natural "neutrino colliders," ...

A newly discovered odd radio circle in space could serve as a time capsule for the violent events that shape galaxies.

Spruce tree needles contain tiny gold particles — and they could indicate large gold deposits beneath the surface.

Titanium micro-particles in the oral mucosa around dental implants are common. This is shown in a new study which also identified 14 genes that may be affected by these particles. Titanium ...
