(Phys.org) —A team of researchers working at Kent State University in Ohio has found that a custom shaped colloid that resembles a boomerang does not conform to Brownian motion, at least in the short term. In their paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters, the team describes how they created their unique colloid and then tracked its movement though a liquid and found its mean displacement was not zero.
