Researchers at the University of Bristol have made a breakthrough in the development of “life-like” synthetic materials which are able to move by themselves like worms. Scientists have been ...

Engineers discover unusual properties in magnetized colloids that surprisingly adhere to the physics described by Kelvin's equation, which models the thermodynamics of molecular systems. Small spheres ...

HOUSTON – (March 14, 2022) – Small spheres suspended in a liquid move enough like molecules that the physics for one can be used to mimic the physics of the other. “It’s like trying to blow a bubble ...

On the afternoon of June 3, 2021, when his laboratory samples rocketed into outer space, Eric Furst stood in line at a different type of final frontier: the DMV. As tedious as waiting on a driver’s ...

(Nanowerk News) Small spheres suspended in a liquid move enough like molecules that the physics for one can be used to mimic the physics of the other. That’s why the discovery of some unusual physics ...

What physical processes govern the movement of microscopic structures capable of interacting with their environment? The answer lies in two mechanisms: self-propulsion, to escape unfavorable locations ...

Colloidal gold consists of microscopic particles of gold suspended in liquid and is usually red or purple. It comes from shale or clay deposits. There has been much debate about the health benefits of ...

Students will learn how to categorize matter as either pure substances or mixtures. Students will apply tests, based on physical properties of matter samples, to determine whether a mixture is ...
