Researchers at Utrecht University have quantitatively mapped the three-dimensional structure of photonic supraparticles for ...

Prof. PENG Chenhui's team from the School of Physics, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), realized the collective transfer and reconfigurable self-assembly of colloidal particles by ...

Have you ever spilled coffee on a solid surface such as the floor, table or clothing? Most of us have had the experience, but if you have not, or if you are curious, spill just a drop and let it dry ...

Colloidal lithography is a nanofabrication technique that utilizes colloidal particles as masks for creating ordered nanostructures on substrates. This cost-effective and scalable method has gained ...

Crystals -- from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds -- don't always grow in a straightforward way. Researchers have now captured this journey from amorphous blob to orderly structures. In ...

NYU researchers have found a way to use light to control how microscopic particles assemble into crystals, effectively turning illumination into a tool for shaping matter. By adding light-sensitive ...

Researchers at Utrecht University have quantitatively mapped the three-dimensional structure of photonic supraparticles for the first time. Until now, researchers could only examine the outer surface ...

HOUSTON – (March 14, 2022) – Small spheres suspended in a liquid move enough like molecules that the physics for one can be used to mimic the physics of the other. “It’s like trying to blow a bubble ...
