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 ...

In a new study, Northwestern engineers discovered that groups of tiny particles suspended in liquid oscillate together, keeping time as though they somehow sense one another's motion. The team used a ...

Two researchers have demonstrated that using a continuum-based approach, they can explain the dynamics of liquid metal particles on a substrate of a nanoscale. Two NJIT researchers have demonstrated ...

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

The liquid state of matter is an intermediate phase between solid and gas. Like the particles of a solid, particles in a liquid are subject to intermolecular attraction; however, liquid particles have ...

Substances can exist in three states of matter - solid, liquid and gas. All substances are made from particles, and the forces between the particles are different in solids, liquids and gases. The ...
