Lausanne, Switzerland-- An international group of researchers from the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), the University of Texas at Austin and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory ...

Scientists have verified there are nuances to particle movement and energy at tiny scales that one of Einstein's equations did not capture, according to a paper in ...

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 ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — In the classic fairy tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes," Hans Christian Andersen uses the eyes of a child to challenge conventional wisdom and help others to see more clearly. In ...

We observed and controlled the Brownian motion of solitons. We launched solitonic excitations in highly elongated 87Rb Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) and showed that a dilute background of impurity ...

The instantaneous velocity of a Brownian particle has been measured for the first time, a result Einstein believed would be impossible. By trapping a micron-sized silica bead in air in an optical ...

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

The Arts and Sciences Libraries have constructed an online exhibit celebrating Albert Einstein's life and achievements with links to manuscripts and papers, scientific articles, related news and ...

Today is Albert Einstein's birthday, and it also coincides with Pi day, which celebrates the well known mathematical constant π, that when rounded to two decimal places has a numerical value of 3.14 ...
