A century after Albert Einstein said we would never be able to observe the instantaneous velocity of tiny particles as they randomly shake and shimmy (in so-called Brownian motion), physicist Mark ...

An international research team reports the discovery of "hidden order" in systems that are disordered in space and time. The ...

First observed by botanist Robert Brown in 1827, Brownian Motion describes the continuous, chaotic movement of tiny particles, such as pollen grains, suspended in a medium. This motion results from ...

An important aspect of Brownian motion predicted decades ago has been observed for the first time by researchers in Europe. The team has measured how micrometre-sized spheres interact with a ...

Technion and SJTU Researchers Reveal Hidden Photon Behavior A collaborative team from the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology and Shanghai Jiao Tong University has identified a previously unknown ...

Researchers at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Spain, have shed fresh light on the viscoelastic behaviour of human tears, demonstrating that real tears are much more complex than the ...

This refers to the random and erratic movement of microscopic particles that are suspended in any fluid, like water or oil. Brownian motion is the result of the impact of the random bombardment of ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The Church publishes the Monitor ...

Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) have brought the worlds of physics and finance one step closer to each other. In a study published in Physical Review Letters, the team ...

When astronomers study the rotation of distant galaxies, they immediately come up against a puzzle. The stars are held together by gravity, which prevents them being slung into intergalactic space as ...
