Professor Simon Cox, from Aberystwyth University's Department of Mathematics, said, "What's fascinating is that discrete objects as varied as soap bubbles and magnetic particles can be made to behave ...

Astrophysicists show how and when specific particles form and offers clues to questions that have troubled scientists since the 1940s. For decades, scientists have been trying to solve a vexing ...

The team began its work with the idea that particles exchange small portions of electric charge when they collide in turbulent air. But instead of spreading out evenly, the charges form irregular ...
