In reliability engineering, few indicators are as consistently revealing as the particles that infiltrate a lubrication ...

Analyzing microplastics (MPs) in real environmental matrices requires the unambiguous identification of particles to distinguish them from particles of biogenic origin, such as particulate organic ...

Scientists from Russia and Australia have put forward a simple new way of counting microscopic particles in optical materials by means of a laser. A light beam passing through such a material splits ...

Researchers from Trinity College Dublin's School of Engineering have built a powerful new machine that lets us watch precisely what happens when tiny particles—far smaller than a grain of sand—hit a ...

Tiny particles are opening big doors for medicine, materials science, and even environmental cleanup. Across the world, scientists are racing to understand how these microscopic swimmers behave, ...
