Brownian motion

A new data analysis technique is allowing scientists to better understand motion inside cells, identifying when a component is being actively moved

Active and passive in-cell movements distinguished for the first time

A new data analysis technique is improving our ability to distinguish between active and passive movement of components within cells, and the results could significantly improve our understanding of cell biology.

Einstein's prediction finally witnessed one century later

in 1907 Einstein proposed a theoretical test to observe Brownian motion but said the experiment would never be possible: now more than one hundred years later physicists at the University of Texas at Austin have finally found a way.
