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

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of chemical reactions to producing highly reliable weather forecasts. For now, ...

NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

Researchers at NYU have developed a way to use light to precisely direct how microscopic particles assemble into crystals. The findings, published today (February 24) in the Cell Press journal Chem, ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

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 ...

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image and fluorescence image of fluorescent magnetic Janus particles (top left), Schematic diagram of N protein detection using antibody-conjugated fluorescent ...

This summer, in Boulder, Colorado, John Crimaldi and his team of civil and environmental engineers gathered around a toilet — for science. They positioned a laser to beam green light above the lidless ...
