A levitating magnetic microrobot autonomously sorts sub-millimeter particles by weight in 3D environments, enabling precise, contamination-free handling in biomedical and manufacturing applications.

The fields of virology, microbiology, nanoparticles, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) have grown tremendously over the past few years. Viruses, which range in size from 17 nm to ~1.5 µm, small ...

Microplastics are often named as a major polluter of both the planet and our bodies, but what does the actual science say?

A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) in January has been used for a media wave of scaremongering about plastic residue in bottled water. Its results are ...

Cell-to-cell communication through nanosized particles, working as messengers and carriers, can now be analyzed in a whole new way, thanks to a new method involving CRISPR gene-editing technology. The ...

We are delighted to invite you to our upcoming Microplastics Symposium 2025: Small particles, big problems. This series of seminars on will focus on the detection and analysis of microplastics, the ...

It's possible to start a subscale deployment in just a few years. The climate effects would be tiny, but the geopolitical impact could be significant. For half a century, climate researchers have ...

Aerosols refer to fine solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere, where they reside typically for days to weeks before falling to the ground or being washed out by rain or snow. They arise ...
