제목 Brownian motion of anisotropic particles in microgravity
초록 In the universe, Brownian motion is fascinating phenomena that give great impact in the field of science and engineering. On earth, it is experimentally difficult to observe original Brownian motion of anisotropic particle due to buoyancy-driven force and sedimentation. Their original 3-dimensional (3D) Brownian motion is replaced by quasi 2-dimensional (2D) motion at long time scale because the colloidal particles usually settle down in a liquid due to gravity. Here we report the observation of 3D rotational Brownian motion of anisotropic colloidal particle in International Space Station (ISS) with the Light microscopy module (LMM). We find that the hydrophobic surface enhance their 3D rotational Brownian motion. Our observation is the measurement of 3D rotational Brownian motion of an anisotropic colloidal particle in microgravity where one can connect the combined effects of shape with the amount of a hydrophobic surface present.
