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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
This refers to the random and erratic movement of microscopic particles that are suspended in any fluid, like water or oil. Brownian motion is the result of the impact of the random bombardment of ...

“I did not believe that it was possible to study the Brownian motion with such a precision.” From a letter from Albert Einstein to Jean Perrin (1909). On 30 April 1905, Einstein completed his doctoral ...
