Egg yolk may appear runny and uniform, but on the nanoscale, it is one of the most crowded biological fluids in nature.

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

It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have unveiled the behavior of single microscopic particles when they unite. The findings reveal an enigmatic, perfectly synchronized dance. The research team ...

The measuring tip of an atomic force microscope with a specially designed holder in which a spherical particle is “trapped”. Lacquers, paint, concrete—and even ketchup or orange juice: Suspensions are ...
