Several years ago, scientists discovered that a single microscopic particle could rock back and forth on its own under a ...

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

Learn how physicists recreated the early universe’s primordial soup, known as quark-gluon plasma, and discovered how it responds when particles race through it.

In the home, the lab and the factory, electric fields control technologies such as Kindle displays, medical diagnostic tests and devices that purify cancer drugs. In an electric field, anything with ...

A new computational analysis supports the idea that photons (a.k.a. particles of light) colliding with heavy ions can create a fluid of 'strongly interacting' particles. In a new paper, they show that ...

Scientists analyzing data from heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—the world's most powerful particle ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have unveiled the behavior of single microscopic particles when they unite.

The Litesizer DIF series measures particles ranging from 0.01 µm to 3,500 µm. Quick-click dispersion units enable one-step switching between liquid and dry units in seconds, while an obscuration level ...

The Outside Story shows how needle-thin columns of ice protruding from the ground are formed from the liquid between soil particles.
