Particles obeying simple nonlinear ODEs spontaneously form this glowing density structure; pure chaos rendered visible. ẋ = σ(y − x) ẏ = x(ρ − z) − y ż = xy − βz

Zippy particles called cosmic rays travel at nearly light speed across the cosmos, and astronomers have been searching for sites where these particles get their energy. Thanks to our NuSTAR telescope, we’ve found another candidate: pulsar wind nebulae.

This illustration shows how charged particles from a solar storm can strip away parts of Mars’ atmosphere — a key process studied by NASA’s MAVEN mission. Read more about this discovery >>

First people notice planes spraying metallic particles in the sky Then they notice the same particulates being manipulated by frequency. It’s everywhere and it’s every day.

SplatPaint uses splats directly as FX and particles - no conversions, no guesswork, just fast real-time results. With 32 live FX modes stackable up to six layers deep, you can create more than 500 million unique animated FX combinations - and it’s only getting faster and more powerful. Transform splat assets, build entirely new forms of SPLAT ART, and easily bring the results into your favorite DCCs. SplatPaint Alpha opens this weekend. Interested?

Built this interactive particle swarm with Combos: ‘Create an interactive particle system: glowing particles forming a fluid swarm that follows and reacts to the mouse cursor in real-time, no UI clutter.’ What should the swarm react to next?
