Accurately modeling irregularly-shaped particles isn’t easy, but a new study found a way to improve a century-old idea.

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

Thanks to a breakthrough study, scientists now have a more accurate way to predict the behavior of irregularly shaped airborne particles, such as dust and microplastics. This could transform ...
