Brownian motion is the constant and random movement of microscopic particles (for example, a speck of dust) in a liquid or gas. Due to the impact of atoms and molecules, these small bodies seen under a microscope move. The yellow circle represents a microscopic body, while the purple circles represent atoms that crash into the microscopic particle.

Scientists prove possibility of 'impossible' dust transition in turbulent flow

Researchers from MIPT and the Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel) have predicted the possibility of negative turbophoresis, a phenomenon where impurity particles inside a turbulent flow move in an "impossible" direction. The study by Sergei Belan (a postgraduate at MIPT), Grigory Falkovich and Itzhak Fouxon was published in the journal Physical Review Letters in the Editors' Suggestions section, which features the most important and interesting studies from the editorial board's point of…
