Several years ago, scientists discovered that a single microscopic particle could rock back and forth on its own under a ...

Brownian motion, the incessant random movement of microscopic particles driven by thermal fluctuations, plays a pivotal role in particle transport within porous media. Porous materials, characterised ...

Particle characterization involves analyzing particles based on attributes such as shape, size, surface properties, charge properties, mechanical properties, and microstructure, among others. A wide ...

What is Dynamic Light Scattering? Dynamic light scattering (DLS), also known as photon correlation spectroscopy or quasi-elastic light scattering, is a technique used to determine the size ...

Scientists didn’t understand why independently oscillating microscopic particles suddenly begin moving in perfect sync when grouped together. Researchers showed that fluid-driven hydrodynamic ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have unveiled the behavior of single microscopic particles when they unite.

In the home, the lab and the factory, electric fields control technologies such as Kindle displays, medical diagnostic tests and devices that purify cancer drugs. In an electric field, anything with ...
