It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and ...

We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

Self-assembling electronics made from liquid metal particles could provide a cheaper way of manufacturing computer chips, simply by harnessing the basic physics of how fluids flow through tiny ...

In the home, the lab and the factory, electric fields control technologies such as Kindle displays, medical diagnostic tests and devices that purify cancer drugs. In an electric field, anything with ...

Analysis of the operation of vehicles in space naturally involves nonequilibrium processes due to the very low density of the atmosphere. Such high Knudsen number conditions give rise to important ...

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