Researchers at the Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE), IISc, have developed a technique to trap and move nano-sized particles in a fluidic medium using only light. The nanotweezer ...

Every second, without you knowing it, thousands of billions of invisible particles pass through your body. These cosmic ...

Cell particles move more quickly through a crowded cellular environment when the crowding molecules are non-uniformly distributed. Cell particles move more quickly through a crowded cellular ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. It might be true that there's an ultimate speed limit to everything in ...

Physicists have invented a 'quantum flute' that, like the Pied Piper, can coerce particles of light to move together in a way that's never been seen before. University of Chicago physicists have ...

In the new device, an array of 256 speakers, each about 1 centimeter wide, faces another, identical speaker array across a distance of 23 centimeters. The speakers emit sound waves at frequencies too ...

Landslides are one striking example of erosion. When the bonds that hold particles of dirt and rock together are overwhelmed by a force — often in the form of water — sufficient to pull the rock and ...
