Nature categorizes particles into two fundamental types: fermions and bosons. While matter-building particles such as quarks ...

When more gas particles enter a container, there is less space for the particles to spread out, and they become compressed. The particles exert more force on the interior volume of the container.

Aerosol particles also provide sites for condensation and surface-mediated heterogeneous reactions of gases that can impact atmospheric composition. The Antarctic ozone hole, for example ...

It includes observations and conclusions that students are meant to make on their own. In a gas, the particles (atoms and molecules) have weak attractions for one another. They are able to move freely ...

In a gas, the particles have a great deal of space between them and have high kinetic energy. A gas has no definite shape or volume. If unconfined, the particles of a gas will spread out ...

Solids, liquids and gases. In a solid like this brick, the particles are regularly arranged touching their neighbours and move only by vibrating. This explains why solids have a fixed shape.

Cooking on your gas stove can emit more nano-sized particles into the air than vehicles that run on gas or diesel, possibly increasing your risk of developing asthma or other respiratory illnesses, a ...

Jupiter's stunning auroras are hundreds of times brighter than those seen on Earth, as pictured in new images taken by the ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has observed glowing auroras on Jupiter like never before.
