Researchers at the Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE), IISc, have developed a technique to trap and move nano-sized particles in a fluidic medium using only light. The nanotweezer ...

Peer Fischer outlines the prospects for creating “nanoswimmers” that can be steered through the body to deliver drugs directly to their targets Moving right along: Nanopropellers can swim through ...

A new study published in Physical Review A suggests that, somewhat counterintuitively, quantum particles have a chance of moving backwards, even when pushed forwards. The rest of this article is ...

What if particles don't slow down in a crowd, but move faster? Physicists from Leiden worked together and discovered a new state of matter, where particles pass on energy through collisions and create ...

There's an ultimate speed limit in the Universe: the speed of light in a vacuum, c. If you don't have any mass — whether you're a light wave (a photon), a gluon, or even a gravitational wave — that's ...

Researchers report that nonlocality is a universal property of the world, regardless of how and at what speed quantum particles move. The phenomenon of quantum nonlocality defies our everyday ...

In the new device, an array of 256 speakers, each about 1 centimeter wide, faces another, identical speaker array across a distance of 23 centimeters. The speakers emit sound waves at frequencies too ...

Unexpected result from an acoustics experiment could have applications in biomedical and microsystems research. Researchers at Aalto University have discovered a surprising phenomenon that changes how ...

It might be true that there's an ultimate speed limit to everything in the Universe — the speed of light in a vacuum — but that doesn't mean there's a limit to how energetic a single particle can be.
