Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists created an engine made of only silica particles suspended an electric field, and cranked temperatures up high enough to rival the Sun’s ...

Researchers created a microscopic version of the Stirling engine using a single particle. At such small scales, the random fluctuations of Brownian motion affect the position of the particle and the ...

Scientists have built the world’s smallest engine. It consists of a single microscopic particle, smaller than a human cell, levitating in a vacuum. By rattling this lone particle with “noisy” ...

Research has shown that "hot" processes such as welding and high-speed machining can generate ultrafine particles (particles with a diameter less than 100 nanometers) that may be harmful to workers' ...
