While braking in your car may protect you from accidents and save your life, it could actually be harmful to your health in other ways, new research has found. Particles released into the air as ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...

From a young age, we are taught in school that like charges – whether both positive or both negative – will repel each other, while opposite charges attract. It turns out that under certain conditions ...

A new study published in Nature Nanotechnology has shown that long-range attraction between similarly charged particles in solution is possible. Remarkably, the group also discovered that, depending ...

A study shows that similarly charged particles can sometimes attract, rather than repel. The team found that like-charged particles suspended in liquids can attract one another at long-range, ...

Scientists know relatively little about particles released into the air when a vehicle driver brakes, though evidence suggests those particles may be more harmful to health than particles exiting the ...

The fact that like charges repel and opposites attract is basic electromagnetism. But for decades scientists have occasionally made a counterintuitive, and controversial, observation: similarly ...

The study found that negatively charged silica microparticles suspended in water attracted each other to form hexagonally arranged clusters. Image credit: Cover image: Zhang Kang. A study published ...
