Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a new approach for targeted drug delivery inside the human body. They have created tiny particles that can carry medicines directly to their intended ...

Tiny particles are opening big doors for medicine, materials science, and even environmental cleanup. Across the world, scientists are racing to understand how these microscopic swimmers behave, ...

Skin diseases affect half of the world's population, but many treatments are not effective, require frequent injections, or cause significant side effects. But what if there was a treatment that ...

Six pairs of atoms in the focus of a laser beam. (Courtesy: Jonas Ahlstedt/Lund University Bioimaging Centre (LBIC)) An ensemble of just six atoms displays all the signatures of a phase transition ...

Stewart Mallory, assistant professor of chemistry and chemical engineering at Penn State, leads a research group that studies active matter, specifically the collective behavior of self-propelled ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair. Instead of choosing between seeing big structures or tiny particles, researchers ...

Researchers from Trinity College Dublin's School of Engineering have built a powerful new machine that lets us watch precisely what happens when tiny particles—far smaller than a grain of sand—hit a ...
