A novel study demonstrates that droplets at a miniscule level can be precisely controlled, opening new avenues in micro-scale ...

Researchers have found that attractive and repulsive interactions between particles are both essential to form structural order that controls the dynamics of glass-forming liquids. This knowledge will ...

Several years ago, scientists discovered that a single microscopic particle could rock back and forth on its own under a ...

Scientists didn’t understand why independently oscillating microscopic particles suddenly begin moving in perfect sync when grouped together. Researchers showed that fluid-driven hydrodynamic ...

When light is scattered from a solution or a suspension, it undergoes random changes in intensity. This phenomenon helps us to determine the size of the particles that scatter the light. This is the ...

A liquid metal droplet can generate rotation without gears, changing how motors may work in soft and flexible machines.

The precise control of tiny droplets on surfaces is essential for advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and ...

Tokyo, Japan - Glass is such a common, everyday material that you probably don't think about it much. It may surprise you to learn that researchers today still don't understand how glass forms.
