When physicists recently steered a tiny microparticle toward a cylindrical obstacle, they expected one of two outcomes to occur. The particle would either collide into the obstacle or sail around it.

After a heart attack, much of the damage to the heart muscle is caused by inflammatory cells that rush to the scene. But that damage is slashed in half when microparticles are injected into the ...

April 10 (UPI) --Scientists have successfully synthesized the most complex microparticle in the world, its structural intricacies more complicated than even the most involved particles found in nature ...

Engineers find 'nanoarchitected' materials designed from precisely patterned nanoscale structures may be a promising route to lightweight armor, protective coatings, blast shields, and other ...

When tiny particles strike a metal surface at high speed -- for example, as coatings being sprayed or as micrometeorites pummeling a space station -- the moment of impact happens so fast that the ...

Thermogravimetric analysis was done on the micro-particles. The graph shows characteristic two-step decay, with first onset degradation temperature of 214 °C and peak degradation temperature of 284 °C ...

Microparticle dust aggregates, which are thought to play a role in the formation of new planets, are less likely to stick together after a collision when the aggregates are larger. Current evidence ...

When people stop breathing, they die. Quickly. But a team at Boston Children’s Hospital has developed an elixir, filled with microparticles that carry oxygen to a person’s cells, that could keep a ...

A growing number of APIs suffer from poor water solubility, low bioavailability, and insufficient stability. As more BCS class II­–IV compounds enter the drug development pipeline, formulators must ...

VAI is pleased to announce the addition of the SMA MicroParticle ICS line of non-viable particle counters that utilize the latest innovation in particle counting technology, to our contamination ...
