Phys.org2/19/2026

Summary

A team of Yale researchers led by Professor Amir Pahlavan has found that tiny particles do not always move with the flow through porous materials. Their study reveals that even gentle chemical gradients, such as small changes in salt concentration, can significantly alter particle movement. The findings are published in Science Advances.
