According to the researchers, the shape-shifting ‘active particles’ could potentially function as microrobots for targeted ...

Researchers have created tiny, microorganism-inspired particles that can change their shape and self-propel, much like living ...

Researchers uncover geometric principles governing how particles self-assemble, solving a long-standing challenge in ...

Particle size has long been a key method for characterization. Most particle size measurement techniques are indirect and assume that all measured particles are round when providing size results.

From how to capture CO2 in the atmosphere to how to deliver lifesaving drugs, scientists can answer a variety of questions by studying the movement of nanoparticles. Early last month, University ...

Red blood cells are not just vehicles that transport oxygen in our bodies: they also clear harmful substances from the bloodstream. Scientists at Johns Hopkins University recently investigated how ...

Skin is the great barrier organ – it excels at keeping foreign particles out of the body. That’s usually a good thing, except when it prevents efforts to ferry medicines through the barrier to treat ...
