When many particles do this simultaneously, an explosive dispersion occurs. Singh says that when small particles, such as flour or pollen, come in contact with a liquid surface, they immediately ...

The precise control of tiny droplets on surfaces is essential for advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and ...

Several years ago, scientists discovered that a single microscopic particle could rock back and forth on its own under a ...

Everything around us is made up of tiny pieces or particles. The particles which make up matter are atoms or molecules. Our body, chair, table, book etc. all are made up of particles. The evidence of ...

Researchers have found that attractive and repulsive interactions between particles are both essential to form structural order that controls the dynamics of glass-forming liquids. This knowledge will ...

Solids, liquids and gases. In a solid like this brick, the particles are regularly arranged touching their neighbours and move only by vibrating. This explains why solids have a fixed shape. In a ...

A novel study demonstrates that droplets at a miniscule level can be precisely controlled, opening new avenues in micro-scale ...
