A rational effort combining computational and experimental approaches is proposed to control the motion of nanoparticles in nanofluids under an electric field. The knowledge of such a motion control ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have developed the first controlled method for exciting and observing ...

Today, the production capabilities for specially designed nanomaterials have increased considerably. Most synthetically produced nanomaterials are nanoparticles. The various applications require ...

As the use of nanoparticles provides a wide variability in properties and functions ranging from optical, electric, magnetic and mechanical to catalytic, the combination of polymers with ...

Kelvin waves have been a mystery for decades but a new method involving superfluid helium-4 can help us control them.

but it also formed and accumulated gold nanoparticles. Remarkably, the gold had a tendency to deposit on existing gold grains rather than forming new ones.” The electric spark generated by the ...

Scientists have controlled Kelvin waves in superfluid helium-4, using electric fields and nanoparticles to visualize them, ...

Liquid crystal nanoparticles (LCNPs) are a unique class of nanomaterials that combine the properties ... during, and after the application of an electric field. The top image illustrates the 3D ...

A zinc oxide nanoparticle has a diameter of 32 nm. The diameter of a zinc atom is 0.28 nm. Estimate how many times larger the nanoparticle is compared to a zinc atom. A cube-shaped nanoparticle ...

More families are buying electric-induction cooktops rather than ... cooking on your gas stove produces large amounts of small nanoparticles that get into your respiratory system,” said civil ...
