Scientists have created a diamond-like lattice composed of gold nanoparticles and viral particles, woven together and held in place by strands of DNA. The structure – a distinctive mix of hard, ...

As a short-lived climate forcer, black carbon aerosols in the atmosphere play a vital role in climate change by absorbing solar radiation and altering the formation, lifespan and albedo of clouds. It ...

Layered drug nanoparticles can now be produced efficiently and at scale using a microfluidic method that eliminates purification and improves consistency. Since its adaptation to nanoscale materials, ...

Materials scientists are measuring the rolling friction of tiny, micrometer-sized particles. These measurements permit them to better understand everyday products such as concrete. For the first time, ...

It is widely known how various mechanical processes affect the behavior of particles, such as sand or liquid droplets. Understanding this can be helpful in a variety of sectors because congestion ...

A subzero ice recrystallization route creates multimetal high entropy aerogels and coatings with uniform element mixing, offering a low temperature path to porous macroscopic alloy structures.

Particle characterization is the process of measuring various properties of particles, such as size, shape, surface area, or other physical or chemical properties. Characterization is done using a ...
