A pathway for ALD-enhanced materials to be quickly developed and transitioned from lab-scale to commercial production is available for almost any application, for the first time ever. Atomic-level ...

What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

To truly understand the essence of something, pelt it with projectiles. That has long been the preferred approach of some physicists, anyway. These scientists routinely study the subtle properties of ...

This diagram illustrates the distribution of charges on clay particles within a solution and the structure of the surrounding diffuse double layer. The diffuse double layer of clay minerals will form ...

A microrobotic tool uses magnetic control and hydrophobic particles to cut water surfaces and create reconfigurable platforms for fluidic applications. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Many of the most advanced ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A new, onion-like nanoparticle could open new frontiers in biomaging, solar energy harvesting and light-based security techniques. The particle's innovation lies in its layers: a ...

For the first time in history, a pathway for ALD-enhanced materials to be rapidly developed and transitioned from lab-scale to commercial production is available for nearly any application. Until ...
