For more than a decade, physicists have faced a puzzling situation: the size of the proton, the nucleus of the hydrogen atom, ...

Scientists around the world have been searching food, water, and other environmental media for microplastics and for per- and ...

Two millennia after Mount Vesuvius turned a seaside villa's library into charcoal, scientists say they've finally "unrolled" ...

Trions form when three particles, like quarks or electrons, come together. This formation occurs in quantum particles in ...

When academics announce they are offering “a phenomenological analysis,” they may as well say they are offering “a human ...

It's the world of ants like you've never seen it before! Dan Smith shows how biology and particle physics are teaming up in ...

A ghostlike particle from deep space sent astronomers chasing one of the Universe’s hardest mysteries. The trail led ...

Combining ideas inspired by ant colonies and flocks of birds may hold the key to unlocking more effective artificial ...

Abstract: This article presents a hybrid metaheuristic optimization algorithm that combines particle filter (PF) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms. The new PF–PSO algorithm consists of ...

Physicists have taken a major step toward using AI not just to analyze data, but to uncover entirely new laws of nature. By combining a specially designed neural network with precise 3D tracking of ...

Researchers have developed a high-tech system that rapidly scans ants and converts them into detailed 3D models. Using a synchrotron accelerator, X-ray imaging, robotics, and AI, the team scanned ...
