Researchers at the University of Tokyo have shown that in phase separation in liquids, as is seen when oil and water separate, occurs as a result of the ordered motion of droplets. Initially, a great number of small droplets ...

(Phys.org) —A team of researchers working at Kent State University in Ohio has found that a custom shaped colloid that resembles a boomerang does not conform to Brownian motion, at least in the short term. In their paper ...
What if you could reach through a microscope to touch and feel the microscopic structures under the lens? In a breakthrough that may usher in a new era in the exploration of the worlds that are a million times smaller than ...
