You can’t hold antimatter in your hand or even in a regular laboratory apparatus. As soon as antimatter meets matter, the two tend to annihilate each other. This makes studying antimatter tricky. But ...

Scientists have unveiled a new theory on the birth of the cosmos, suggesting the early universe was shaped by an ancient particle that has been overlooked for decades. Their research tackles one of ...

A major physics experiment has uncovered evidence for a strange new form of matter, where a fleeting particle gets trapped inside a nucleus. This exotic state may reveal how mass is generated, ...

Particle measurements in ultra-pure water (UPW) systems can take a long time to return to a stable baseline after an incident that disrupts regular operation (such as a maintenance shutdown). A ...

Our planet is under a constant bombardment of radiation—from space. Well, maybe it’s not as scary as that makes it seem. “Radiation” is a catchall term astronomers use for forms of light—including ...

States and Tribes should refer to the following Memorandum and Tribal guidance documents for area designations for the 2024 Revised Annual Fine Particle NAAQS when preparing their recommendations on ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of chemical reactions to producing highly reliable weather forecasts. For now, ...

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be ...

When you turn on your faucet, water seems to magically appear. EPA, states, and water utilities work together to bring clean, safe water into homes and businesses every day. In the US, approximately ...

Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...
