A new University of Maryland study has revealed a coordinated dance of microscopic particles—breaking up and clustering back ...

Conditions can get rough in the micro- and nanoworld. For example, to ensure that nutrients can still be optimally transported within cells, the minuscule transporters involved need to respond to the ...

A pioneering method to simulate how microscopic particles move through the air could boost efforts to combat air pollution, a study suggests. A pioneering method to simulate how microscopic 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 ...

The measuring tip of an atomic force microscope with a specially designed holder in which a spherical particle is “trapped”. Lacquers, paint, concrete—and even ketchup or orange juice: Suspensions are ...
