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 ...

Materials scientists are measuring the rolling friction of tiny, micrometer-sized particles. These measurements permit them to better understand everyday products such as concrete. For the first time, ...

OctopusEffects, #aftereffects I shot a short video, then used Particular with the Physics of Fluids to make the cup dissolve into particles. Here is a detailed video on how to do it. Video without voi ...

The single particle extinction and scattering (SPES) method can accurately determine the material properties and size distribution of individual particles. A broad range of research disciplines could ...

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 ...

Researchers have spent centuries looking for a scenario in which the Euler fluid equations fail. Now a mathematician has finally found one. Mathematicians have suspected for years that under specific ...
