The seemingly random movement of Brownian motion just got a little more classical. Scientists have been able to image the ultrafast motions of a trapped particle, revealing the underlining ...
Here’s how it works. Brown noise is a type of low-frequency sound produced by the same process that causes so-called Brownian motion. It has nothing to do with color; instead, brown noise gets ...
Oppenheim’s idea is that relativity is classical but fundamentally stochastic, by which he means that it has a random character, rather like Brownian motion, the random motion of particle suspended in ...
Harvesting energy from graphene is controversial because it disproves physicist Richard Feynman’s assertion that the thermal motion of atoms, known as Brownian motion, cannot do work. Thibado’s team ...
Physicists in the US have created a magnetic trap that can contain microscopic particles despite their Brownian motion. The trap, which is based on a magnetized, zigzag-shaped nanowire, could help ...
