If you’re teeny tiny, like microscopic or even nanoscopic in size, existence can be hard. One example of a difficulty a particle of that size might face is how to transport the necessary nutrients ...

A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes. The system captures both detailed structures and tiny moving particles at ...

Scientists didn’t understand why independently oscillating microscopic particles suddenly begin moving in perfect sync when grouped together. Researchers showed that fluid-driven hydrodynamic ...

Matin Durrani visits the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the US to find out how neutrons are being used to create a unique microscope that can see inside objects that other particles ...

Physicists show how microscopic particles can harness fluctuations and external forces to minimize transport energy and even extract usable work. A particle (red sphere) is guided from left to its ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have unveiled the behavior of single microscopic particles when they unite. The findings reveal an enigmatic, perfectly synchronized dance. The research team ...
