In a series of experiments and simulations, the researchers showed that by adjusting light intensity, timing, and spatial patterns, they can trigger crystals to form or melt on demand, decide where ...

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, ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and other complex materials. But a team of Yale researchers led by Professor ...

Scientists have developed a new approach to formulating mineral sunscreen that could prevent it from leaving a white cast on ...

Imagine a "smart fluid" whose internal structure can be rearranged just by changing temperature.In a new study in Matter, researchers report a way ...

Abraham “Bramie” Lenhoff, the Allan P. Colburn Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Delaware, has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE).

Scientists have long known that injecting a large quantity of reflective particles into the upper atmosphere could cool the planet - Copyright NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ...
