How far microplastics travel in the atmosphere depends crucially on particle shape, according to a recent study by scientists at the University of Vienna and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and ...

Researchers at Harvard University have demonstrated that gas bubbles can exist in stable non-spherical shapes without the application of external force. The micron- to millimeter scale peapod-, ...

A renovated, second-generation fusion reactor in England has achieved first plasma. This reactor and other fusion reactors have long-shot plans to produce energy as early as 2040. The new reactor ...

A:Bodies large enough to be considered planets have enough mass that gravity molds them into a roughly spherical shape. The key word here is roughly — other factors also come into play, such as a ...

When neutron stars collide, they produce an explosion that, contrary to what was believed until recently, is shaped almost like a perfect sphere. Although how this is possible is still a mystery, the ...

Scientists at the University of Warwick have cracked a long-standing problem in air pollution science: how to predict the movement of irregularly shaped nanoparticles as they drift through the air we ...
