First observed by botanist Robert Brown in 1827, Brownian Motion describes the continuous, chaotic movement of tiny particles, such as pollen grains, suspended in a medium. This motion results from ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — In the classic fairy tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes," Hans Christian Andersen uses the eyes of a child to challenge conventional wisdom and help others to see more clearly. In ...

Scientists have verified there are nuances to particle movement and energy at tiny scales that one of Einstein's equations did not capture, according to a paper in ...

E = mc^2. General relativity. The photoelectric effect. Brownian motion. Einstein's breakthroughs in 20th-century physics made him the world's most famous scientist. And the recognition is ...

The seemingly random movement of Brownian motion just got a little more classical, as scientists have been able to image the ultrafast motions of a trapped particle.

Albert Einstein was born March 14, 1879 (coincidentally, 3/14 is also known as pi day because it’s the three digits of pi: 3.14). Known as the father of modern physics, he published some of the most ...
