Engineers at Northwestern University have unveiled the behavior of single microscopic particles when they unite. The findings reveal an enigmatic, perfectly synchronized dance. The research team ...

Astronomers had decent guesses about how these peanut-shaped asteroids formed but couldn’t get the physics to work—until now.

Several years ago, scientists discovered that a single microscopic particle could rock back and forth on its own under a steady electric field. The result was curious, but lonely. Now, Northwestern ...

EPFL researchers have shown theoretically that, in highly ordered materials, heat can flow toward warmer regions without ...

Astronomers have puzzled for years over a strange pattern in the outer solar system. A surprising number of icy bodies far beyond Neptune resemble snowmen, made of two rounded lobes stuck together.

This bioresorbable standard-size pill can be interrogated via RFID to confirm it has been taken by the patient.

A moon can sit next door to another and still feel like a different world. Around Jupiter, that contrast shows up fast.

The finding, published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, offers an explanation based on a ...

It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and other complex materials. But a team of Yale researchers led by Professor ...

Imagine a "smart fluid" whose internal structure can be rearranged just by changing temperature. In a new study published in Matter, researchers report a way to overcome a long-standing limitation in ...

Rheology, high-speed imaging, and velocimetry combined to characterize how some roller-based nozzles perform so well with non ...
