An electric field transforms an iron oxide nanoparticle suspension into a model for the emergence of complex dissipative structures. Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle ...

Dissipative solitons are self-localised packets of light that arise in open nonlinear optical systems through a balance of gain, loss, dispersion and nonlinearity. Unlike their conservative ...

Self-organization in nonequilibrium systems is an important research topic in the physical sciences for understanding the formation of patterns or orders in various systems, including patterns in ...

Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle suspension can serve as a simple model for studying the formation of patterns and structures in more complicated non-equilibrium systems, ...
