A liquid metal droplet can generate rotation without gears, changing how motors may work in soft and flexible machines.

Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, CERN's Large Hadron Collider, scientists have discovered that the trillion-degree hot primordial "soup" that filled the cosmos for mere millionths ...

The precise control of tiny droplets on surfaces is essential for advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and ...

A novel study demonstrates that droplets at a miniscule level can be precisely controlled, opening new avenues in micro-scale ...

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

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 ...

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

In a quiet corner of low-temperature physics, researchers have stumbled on a phase of matter that seems to break one of the ...

But only in the last 70 years have we known for certain they were there. In 1956, physicists Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines ...

Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the detector's first results are in — and they're very promising. When you purchase ...
