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 ...

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 ...

All this “Brownian Motion”[i] is the embodiment of the dysfunction in Washington. It’s not that they can’t do anything about something they all profess to be horrible; it’s that they ...

Figure 1: Schematic of near-boundary Brownian motion. In the following sections we report results of our MD simulations of the effect of interface on the nearby Brownian motion. We demonstrate ...

The story of Brownian motion began with experimental confusion and philosophical debate, before Einstein, in one of his least well-known contributions to physics, laid the theoretical groundwork for ...

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 ...

Before we get to modern perpetual motion machines, let’s take a look at some actually interesting ideas that illustrate the limit of the second law. First up, the Brownian Ratchet. It goes like ...

The instantaneous velocity of a Brownian particle has been measured for the first time ... Our ultimate goal is to cool the motion of a bead to the quantum mechanical ground state, and that will be ...

Despite the fact that Brown died in 1858 without providing any theory to back his observations, this random jittery behaviour is referred to as Brownian motion. The task of explaining its ...
