A century after Albert Einstein said we would never be able to observe the instantaneous velocity of tiny particles as they randomly shake and shimmy (in so-called Brownian motion), physicist Mark ...

The instantaneous velocity of a Brownian particle has been measured for the first time, a result Einstein believed would be impossible. By trapping a micron-sized silica bead in air in an optical ...

Circular motion, instantaneous velocity of an object moving in a circle. When demonstrating circular motion, swing the ball in a vertical path to increase visibility. When demonstrating the ...

One must get the methods of measuring position and time working together if we are to obtain a reliable representation of motion. To that end we have developed a unique system composed of elements ...
