(PhysOrg.com) -- "Brownian motion is a very old concept," Klaus Kroy tells PhysOrg.com. "The laws explaining it were formulated more than a century ago by Albert Einstein. However, we are finding some interesting divergences from what has been known for all these years." Brownian motion is the random movement of small particles dissolved in a liquid or gas. It is the result of the particles` collisions with the solvent molecules.
