Atoms are the building blocks of all matter, from the air we breathe to every cell in our bodies. Yet despite their presence everywhere, no one has truly seen an atom with the naked eye ,until ...

When two fluids don't mix well, they sometimes form strange patterns called "viscous fingering," or Saffman-Taylor instability. Studying these patterns can help scientists understand how to design ...

Researchers have solved a mystery that has confounded scientists for 80 years: the crystal structure of the ...

A rather unassuming particle is playing an important role in the hunt for subatomic oddities. Similar to protons and neutrons, mesons are composed of quarks bound together by the strong nuclear force.

It is known that particle size obtained from the Brownian motion of a particle is called the diffusion coefficient equivalent size (DCES) and is close to the geometric size independent of the physical ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and ...

With the miniaturization of the semiconductor, the slurry size used in CMP process tends to become small, and it is demanded to clean wafer efficiently after CMP. Therefore characteristic of particle ...

The change of the fine particle group’s concentration almost has no effect on its penetration performance under a fixed diameter and density of fine particles. The microstructural characteristics of ...

As few as five electrons in a semiconductor can exhibit collective behaviour, forming a “Coulomb liquid”, according to researchers in Europe. This extends the study of correlated systems to electron ...

Silica-based gels are often mentioned because of their viscoelasticity, but very little work has really reflected this competing relationship between restorative and destructive properties dominated ...
