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

Scientists didn’t understand why independently oscillating microscopic particles suddenly begin moving in perfect sync when grouped together. Researchers showed that fluid-driven hydrodynamic ...

A new computational analysis supports the idea that photons (a.k.a. particles of light) colliding with heavy ions can create a fluid of 'strongly interacting' particles. In a new paper, they show that ...

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

In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles ...

Compressible micropolar fluid dynamics is an advanced field that extends classical fluid mechanics by incorporating microstructural effects. This framework accounts for both the conventional ...

To melt a solid, heat it. To freeze a liquid, cool it. It's simple—except when it isn't, because quantum mechanics can flip even the intuitive logic of melting and freezing on its head. Physicists ...
