Quantum computers are beginning to become powerful tools for studying some of the most fundamental forces in the universe – and some of the trickiest to understand. Two experiments have used them to ...

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 ...

A pioneering method to simulate how microscopic particles move through the air could boost efforts to combat air pollution, a study suggests. A pioneering method to simulate how microscopic particles ...

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

Materials scientists are measuring the rolling friction of tiny, micrometer-sized particles. These measurements permit them to better understand everyday products such as concrete. For the first time, ...

A pioneering method to simulate how nanoparticles move through the air could boost efforts to combat air pollution, a study suggests. (Nanowerk News) Tiny particles found in exhaust fumes, wildfire ...
