Every lightning strike begins as a silent exchange of charge — leaders reaching down, streamers rising up — until, in an ...

Biopolymer networks having a meshwork topology, e.g., extracellular matrices and mucus gels, are ubiquitous. Understanding the diffusion mechanism of self-propelled agents, including Janus colloidal ...

Now, a new study in the journal Environmental Science and Technology says it's possible that humans may be consuming anywhere from 39,000 to 52,000 microplastic particles a year.

WAVE 3 meteorologist Tawana Andrew breaks down what we know and what we don't about the climate and weather here in ...

RELATED: Western Washington Weather Forecast There's a potential for lightning in all of the state other than the southeast corner, with brief heavy rain and possible small hail or graupel at times.

Researchers say air pollution in Toronto is a complex problem that goes way beyond car exhaust fumes. A new study could make it clear what we’re breathing in - and where it's coming from.

Strange signals defy physics models, potentially hinting at unknown particles or phenomena beyond the Standard Model.

We propose a novel strategy for optical trapping and sorting of micro-nano particles that does not involve the flow of the immersion medium. The method employs the size- and velocity-dependent ...

A new UC Riverside-led study reveals how common small particles produced by nature as well as human activities can transform upon entering plant cells and weaken plants' ability to turn sunlight ...

New research from the University of California, Davis, reveals that nanoplastics—those impossibly small plastic particles found in food and drinks—may cause glucose intolerance and liver damage. But ...

Microrobotics has the potential to revolutionize many applications including targeted material delivery, assembly, and surgery. The same properties that promise breakthrough solutions-small size and ...

As wildfires burn in the north and crews do what they can to slow them down, the rest of the province is dealing with the smoke. As smoke continues to drift across the province, we’re hearing about ...
