Researchers at Utrecht University have quantitatively mapped the three-dimensional structure of photonic supraparticles for the first time. Supraparticles are microscopic spheres composed of thousands ...

NYU researchers have found a way to use light to control how microscopic particles assemble into crystals, effectively ...

The study of nanoparticle interactions within colloidal suspensions has advanced considerably, laying the groundwork for both industrial applications and theoretical developments. At the heart of this ...

Tokyo, Japan--Crystallization is the assembly of atoms or molecules into highly ordered solid crystals, which occurs in natural, biological, and artificial systems. However, crystallization in ...

An international team has developed spherical colloidal particles for the visualization of rotational dynamics. The two-color fluorescent particles have an off-center core that allows tracking of ...

On the afternoon of June 3, 2021, when his laboratory samples rocketed into outer space, Eric Furst stood in line at a different type of final frontier: the DMV. As tedious as waiting on a driver’s ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol have made a breakthrough in the development of “life-like” synthetic materials which are able to move by themselves like worms. Scientists have been ...

It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and other complex materials. But a team of Yale researchers led by Professor ...
