Tiny particles are opening big doors for medicine, materials science, and even environmental cleanup. Across the world, scientists are racing to understand how these microscopic swimmers behave, ...

A new University of Maryland study has revealed a coordinated dance of microscopic particles—breaking up and clustering back ...

Physicists show how microscopic particles can harness fluctuations and external forces to minimize transport energy and even extract usable work. A particle (red sphere) is guided from left to its ...

Analyzing microplastics (MPs) in real environmental matrices requires the unambiguous identification of particles to distinguish them from particles of biogenic origin, such as particulate organic ...
