In nanoscale particle research, precise control and separation have long been a bottleneck in biotechnology. Researchers at ...

Driving a truck in harsh, dusty conditions is hard on an engine’s air-filtration system. The fine particles of dust and silt found on backroads, as well as in construction and mining sites, can ...

A microfluidic approach combines electric slip and viscoelastic forces to sort nanoscale particles, increasing the purity of synthetic beads and cell vesicles.

When a surface is getting wet, the composition of the liquid plays a role in the wetting process. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS) found that phase ...

This image is an overlay of time-lapse optical images showing the unusual particle separation of a self-healing, free-standing liquid membrane. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the ...
