Brownian motion of particles in confined fluids is important for many applications, yet the effects of the boundary over a wide range of time scales are still not well understood. We report high-bandwidth, comprehensive measurements of Brownian motion of an optically trapped micrometer-sized silica sphere in water near an approximately flat wall. At short distances we observe anisotropic Brownian motion with respect to the wall. We find that surface confinement not only occurs in the long time…

Highly Resolved Brownian Motion in Space and in Time
Since the discovery of Brownian motion in bulk fluids by Robert Brown in 1827 , Brownian motion at long timescales has been extensively studied both theoretically and experimentally for over a…
Short-time Brownian motion
This paper reviews our experiments and numerical calculations on short timescale Brownian motion and its applications. We verified the modified Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution using micrometer-sized…
Brownian motion as a new probe of wettability.
TLDR
This letter considers the cases of a sphere in an unbounded fluid medium, as well as a sphere placed in the vicinity of a plane wall, and shows the effects of wettability on the statistical properties of the particles' motion, such as velocity autocorrelation, velocity, and thermal force power spectra over a large range of time scales.
Nanomechanical Measurement of the Brownian Force Noise in a Viscous Liquid.
TLDR
The frequency spectrum of the thermal force giving rise to Brownian motion of a nanomechanical beam resonator in a viscous liquid is studied to determine the power spectral density (PSD) of the Brownian force noise acting on the structure in its fundamental mode.
Stochastic inference of surface-induced effects using Brownian motion
Brownian motion in confinement and at interfaces is a canonical situation, encountered from fundamental biophysics to nanoscale engineering. Using the Lorenz-Mie framework, we optically record the…
Brownian motion near an elastic cell membrane: A theoretical study
TLDR
This paper reviews the Brownian motion of a particle moving in the vicinity of a living cell whose membrane is endowed with a resistance towards shear and bending and calculates the diffusional behavior near a no-slip hard wall.
Surface Force Measurements Using Brownian Particles
Brownian motion in confinement and at interfaces is a canonical situation, encountered from fundamental biophysics to nanoscale engineering. Using the Lorenz-Mie framework, we optically record the…
Unsteady Stokes flow near boundaries: the point-particle approximation and the method of reflections
Problems of particle dynamics involving unsteady Stokes flows in confined geometries are typically harder to solve than their steady counterparts. Approximation techniques are often the only resort.…
The non-Gaussian tops and tails of diffusing boomerangs.
TLDR
The results indicate that the choice of tracking point can cause a considerable departure from Gaussian statistics, potentially causing some common modelling techniques to fail.
Localized mode and nonergodicity of a harmonic oscillator chain
We present a simple and microscopic physical model that breaks the ergodicity. Our model consists of coupled classical harmonic oscillators, and the motion of the tagged particle obeys the…

MATH
TLDR
It is still unknown whether there are families of tight knots whose lengths grow faster than linearly with crossing numbers, but the largest power has been reduced to 3/z, and some other physical models of knots as flattened ropes or strips which exhibit similar length versus complexity power laws are surveyed.
Opt
TLDR
A new language, Opt, is proposed for writing these objective functions over image- or graph-structured unknowns concisely and at a high level and automatically transforms these specifications into state-of-the-art GPU solvers based on Gauss-Newton or Levenberg-Marquardt methods.

APPL
TLDR
A prototype probability package named APPL (A Probability Programming Language) is presented that can be used to manipulate random variables and examples illustrate its use.
