Scientists ran a comprehensive analysis of data from collisions of heavy ions (the nuclei of atoms) to determine which factors most influence fluctuations in the flow of particles. They found that the ...

Particle collisions at RHIC -- a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility located at DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory -- regularly recreate tiny specs of quark-gluon plasma ...

UPTON, NY—A new computational analysis by theorists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory and Wayne State University supports the idea that photons (a.k.a. particles of ...

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

There's rarely time to write about every cool science-y story that comes our way. So this year, we're once again running a special Twelve Days of Christmas series of posts, highlighting one science ...

Surf's up for microbes swimming beside red blood cells. New calculations and experiments model for the first time how spherical particles submerged in gooey liquid travel along a flexible rubber sheet ...

MIT chemical engineers have designed tiny particles that can “steer” themselves along preprogrammed trajectories and align themselves to flow through the center of a microchannel, making it possible ...

We provide a protocol for a high-resolution flow cytometry–based method for quantitative and qualitative analysis of individual nano-sized vesicles released by cells, as developed and previously ...
