(Nanowerk News) Active Brownian motion describes particles which can propel themselves forwards, while still being subjected to random Brownian motions as they are jostled around by their neighbouring ...

Brownian motion, the incessant random movement of microscopic particles driven by thermal fluctuations, plays a pivotal role in particle transport within porous media. Porous materials, characterised ...

New study finds obstacles can trap rolling microparticles in fluid. Through simulations and experiments, physicists attribute the trapping effect to stagnant pockets of fluid, created by hydrodynamics ...

Innovation Center of NanoMedicine (iCONM; Center Director: Kazunori Kataoka; Location: Kawasaki, Japan) has announced with The University of Tokyo that a group led by Prof. Takanori Ichiki, Research ...

NTA mainly uses the principle of scattering of light by a particle to locate it in real-time. The particle movements are tracked, and the size is measured using a high-speed video recording. 2 A laser ...

DLS is a non-invasive method used to measure the average size and size distribution broadness of submicron particles in a suspension/dispersed in a liquid. DLS is suitable for particle size analysis ...
