Atmospheric and climate scientists show that biological particles may induce rain events that could contribute to flooding and snowstorms, owing to their ability to precipitate ice formation in clouds ...

Researchers have detected microplastics in blood, placentas, and organs. A scientific review explains how they affect human biology.

Erin McCarthy '23, physics summa cum laude, is a rarity among young scientists. As an undergraduate researcher in Syracuse University's College of Arts & Sciences' Department of Physics, she guided a ...

Clouds form when water vapor—an invisible gas in the atmosphere—sticks to tiny floating particles, such as dust, and turns into liquid water droplets or ice crystals. In a newly published study, we ...

Scientists didn’t understand why independently oscillating microscopic particles suddenly begin moving in perfect sync when grouped together. Researchers showed that fluid-driven hydrodynamic ...

Clouds form upon existing particles in the atmosphere and extreme weather events like flooding and snowstorms are related to production of large amounts of ice in clouds. Biological particles like ...
