Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

Accurately modeling irregularly-shaped particles isn’t easy, but a new study found a way to improve a century-old idea.

A levitating magnetic microrobot autonomously sorts sub-millimeter particles by weight in 3D environments, enabling precise, contamination-free handling in biomedical and manufacturing applications.

The fields of virology, microbiology, nanoparticles, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) have grown tremendously over the past few years. Viruses, which range in size from 17 nm to ~1.5 µm, small ...

Cell-to-cell communication through nanosized particles, working as messengers and carriers, can now be analyzed in a whole new way, thanks to a new method involving CRISPR gene-editing technology. The ...

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 ...
