Scientists working at microscopic scales have relied on a single dominant fabrication technique to ...

Tiny 3D devices can now be made from many materials. This method can create micro-robots, sensors & small machines with new functions.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The control of fluids at microscopic scales is fundamental to numerous technologies, from medical diagnostics to water purification. Traditionally, moving small volumes of liquid ...

Researchers have now developed a method that allows the use of multi-focal images to reconstruct the movement of fast biological processes in 3D. In the past, many discoveries have been made because ...

The ocean is saturated with microplastics. While we know the location of the great garbage patches, where plastic particles may accumulate below the ocean surface remains unknown. The vastness of the ...

A team of researchers has developed a theory to explain how hydrodynamic electron flow could occur in 3D materials and observed it for the first time using a new imaging technique. Electrons flow ...

Researchers at Boston University, USA report that the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain is linked to waking brain activity. Led by Stephanie Williams, and publishing in the open access journal ...

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water is inside the cells that make up organs and tissues, and much of the remaining water flows in the spaces between cells. MIT ...
