A graduate student accidentally created a blend of oil, water and nickel particles that formed an unexpected shape.

Materials scientists are measuring the rolling friction of tiny, micrometer-sized particles. These measurements permit them to better understand everyday products such as concrete.

This course covers the surface chemistry of these particles, including fundamental concepts and applications of chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, and molecular spectroscopy in particle ...

Starch-based biodegradable plastics may cause organ damage and metabolic issues, raising concerns about their safety despite ...

A research team has successfully fine-tuned the Rabi oscillation of polaritons, quantum composite particles, by leveraging ...

Over the course of 2025, RHIC physicists will complete data collection on quark-gluon plasma, the soup of particles that existed in the earliest days of the universe. “The original idea behind ...

Microplastics and much smaller nanoplastics enter the human body in various ways, for example through food or the air we ...

Wear and tear on plastic products releases small to nearly invisible plastic particles, which could impact people's health when consumed or inhaled. To make these particles biodegradable, researchers ...

Suspensions are widespread in industry and everyday life. By a suspension, materials scientists mean a liquid in which tiny, insoluble solid particles are evenly distributed. If the concentration of ...
