Researchers from Trinity College Dublin's School of Engineering have built a powerful new machine that lets us watch precisely what happens when tiny particles—far smaller than a grain of sand—hit a ...

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, ...

Although solar-powered devices are now fairly common, Swedish scientists have created something a little different. They've built tiny "metavehicles" that are mechanically propelled and guided via ...

Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have succeeded in creating tiny vehicles powered by nothing but light. By layering an optical metasurface onto a microscopic particle, and ...

Scientists at Stanford have made a working prototype particle accelerator smaller than a human hair. Shrinking particle accelerators is a high-priority goal because of the potential in applications ...

A recent review published in Engineering highlights particle vision analysis (PVA), a rapidly developing field at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and microscopic imaging. The review ...

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Millions of people are impacted by the wildfire smoke coming from Canada. It's causing air quality alerts for 3/4 of the U.S. Yes, it's hazy, but what makes the wildfire smoke ...
