New research suggests a particle inside an atom can lose mass, offering a fresh look at how matter works at the smallest ...

Plasmonic nanomachines use light-generated gradients to create local force, offering a design framework for controlled motion at micro- and nanoscale dimensions.

Brownian motion describes the random movement of particles in fluids, however, this revolutionary model only works when a fluid is static, or at equilibrium. In real-life, fluids often contain ...

When light is scattered from a solution or a suspension, it undergoes random changes in intensity. This phenomenon helps us to determine the size of the particles that scatter the light. This is the ...

University at Buffalo researchers have discovered that uneven electric charges on particles in turbulent air cause them to form dense clusters. The study, published in PNAS, shows that patchy surface ...
