Researchers at NYU have developed a way to use light to precisely direct how microscopic particles assemble into crystals. The findings, published today (February 24) in the Cell Press journal Chem, ...

NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

Antarctica’s eerie Blood Falls isn’t blood at all. Scientists have uncovered iron particles and hidden microbes beneath the ice, raising a bigger question: could similar life survive on Mars?

In nanoscale particle research, precise control and separation have long been a bottleneck in biotechnology. Researchers at the University of Oulu have now developed a new method that improves ...

AI is searching particle colliders for the unexpected ...

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

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though quantum physics says their exact position is fundamentally uncertain. Now, ...

Experts believe the snakes may be dispersing from the Everglades as their population grows, using connected waterways as highways. While not considered an overwhelming threat to humans, pythons can ...

Small household appliances with electric heating coils and brushed DC motors—such as hairdryers, toasters and air fryers—are significant sources of ultrafine particles (UFP) that may pose health risks ...

Burmese pythons are an invasive species causing destruction in the Florida Everglades. The snakes have contributed to the decline of several small mammal populations. Estimates place the Burmese ...
