Dynamic Equilibrium – Large Wear Particles in Oil Lubricated Systems There are many approaches used to model a machine’s wear formation. Based on a balance between production rate and loss rate of ...

Scientists have long known the ins and outs of equilibrium thermodynamics. Systems in equilibrium — a stable state of unchanging balance — are governed by a neat set of rules, making them predictable ...

Discover 'ghostly' particles and quantum depletion. A new study makes the first observation of 'ghost particles' from Bose-Einstein condensates via 'quantum depletion': particles expelled by ...

Physicists at the University of Bayreuth are among the international pioneers of power functional theory. This new approach makes it possible for the first time to precisely describe the dynamics of ...

Application of mechanics to the study of static equilibrium of rigid and elastic bodies. Topics includes composition and resolution of forces; moments and couples; equivalent force systems; free-body ...

Encoding complexity into particles enables multiple programmable means by which their behaviors can be directed when outside of equilibrium. Our group is developing new classes of particles with ...

An elegantly simple experiment with floating particles self-assembling in response to sound waves has provided a new framework for studying how seemingly lifelike behaviors emerge in response to ...

Unlike larger dust, ash or sand particles, these tiny particles bypass the sneeze reflex and the guard hairs in the nose and throat and penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream, where they can ...

A new discovery could be the beginning of a general framework of rules for seemingly unpredictable non-equilibrium systems, explain researchers. Scientists have long known the ins and outs of ...
