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 ...

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

Researchers have found that attractive and repulsive interactions between particles are both essential to form structural order that controls the dynamics of glass-forming liquids. This knowledge will ...

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 ...

Tokyo, Japan - Glass is such a common, everyday material that you probably don't think about it much. It may surprise you to learn that researchers today still don't understand how glass forms.
