Over the past few years, studies have suggested that plastic particles from bottles, food packaging and waste have been ...

The fields of virology, microbiology, nanoparticles, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) have grown tremendously over the past few years. Viruses, which range in size from 17 nm to ~1.5 µm, small ...

A levitating magnetic microrobot autonomously sorts sub-millimeter particles by weight in 3D environments, enabling precise, contamination-free handling in biomedical and manufacturing applications.

A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) in January has been used for a media wave of scaremongering about plastic residue in bottled water. Its results are ...

Air pollution causes health problems and is attributable to some 50,000 annual deaths in the United States, but not all air pollutants pack the same punch. Scientists have tracked the scope of "PM 2.5 ...

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 ...

We are delighted to invite you to our upcoming Microplastics Symposium 2025: Small particles, big problems. This series of seminars on will focus on the detection and analysis of microplastics, the ...

Tiny particles such as ice crystals or ash particles tend to oscillate as they settle through the atmosphere. In their experiments, the scientists were able to track non-spherical particles of size ...
