| Swirlonic super particles baffle physicists Posted: 11 Feb 2021 11:43 AM PST In recent years, active, self-propelled particles have received growing interest amongst the scientific community. The 'swirlon' - a novel state of active matter - displayed a stunning behavior whereby instead of moving with acceleration, the quasi-particle groups moved with a constant velocity, proportional to the applied force and in the same direction of the force. This conduct seemingly violates the Second Newton's Law, currently taught in secondary schools. |
| Smartphone app to change your personality Posted: 11 Feb 2021 08:38 AM PST How quickly can personality traits be modified? An international research team has shown that daily use of a smartphone app can lead to desired personality changes within three months. And three months after the daily interventions, the changes are still noticeable. |
| Nanoparticle gel unites oil and water in manufacturing-friendly approach Posted: 10 Feb 2021 02:00 PM PST Oil and water may not mix, but adding the right nanoparticles to the recipe can convert these two immiscible fluids into an exotic gel with uses ranging from batteries to water filters to tint-changing smart windows. A new approach to creating this unusual class of soft materials could carry them out of the laboratory and into the marketplace. |
