NIST scientists have devised and modeled a unique optical method of sorting microscopic and nanoscopic particles by size, with a resolution as fine as 1 nanometer (nm) for particles of similar ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The precise positioning of nanoparticles on surfaces is key to most nano- technology applications especially molecular electronics. However, for automated patterning of particles, ...

In cells, myriad membrane-interacting proteins generate and maintain curved membrane domains with radii of curvature around or below 50 nm. To understand how such highly curved membranes modulate ...

Researchers investigate why pebbles and boulders on asteroid Itokawa's surface occupy separate regions. In 2005, the Hayabusa spacecraft developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) ...

We here provide detailed insight in self-assembled complex coacervate systems exploiting gold nanoparticles for cryoTEM contrast. Nanoparticle-containing dendrimicelles are formed from ...
