The seemingly random movement of Brownian motion just got a little more classical. Scientists have been able to image the ultrafast motions of a trapped particle, revealing the underlining ...

First observed by botanist Robert Brown in 1827, Brownian Motion describes the continuous, chaotic movement of tiny particles, such as pollen grains, suspended in a medium. This motion results from ...

An important aspect of Brownian motion predicted decades ago has been observed for the first time by researchers in Europe. The team has measured how micrometre-sized spheres interact with a ...

The story of Brownian motion began with experimental confusion and philosophical debate, before Einstein, in one of his least well-known contributions to physics, laid the theoretical groundwork for ...

Lasers can help us fill in the gaps in one of Einstein's key theories on how particles move a century after he first published it, scientists say. Danish researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute and ...

Physics professor Steve Carlip stands next to a bigger-than-life image in the Physics and Geology building of Albert Einstein riding a bike. Theories that Einstein published in 1905 have provided a ...

There’s a fine line between slow-moving Antonionian ennui — or “Antoniennui,” as Andrew Sarris memorably called it — and impenetrable dejection, and after three films that can be classified as the ...
