When synthesizing nanoscale liposomes, the ability to control vesicle size helps define their pharmaceutical properties. Conventional microfluidic liposome synthesis methods, however, are limited in ...

Researchers use silicon nanoparticles to help visualize the coalescence of quantized vortices that occur in superfluid helium, which can help improve our understanding of quantum fluids and materials, ...

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

In a surprise discovery, Flinders University nanotechnology researchers have produced a range of different types of gold nanoparticles by adjusting water flow in the novel vortex fluidic device – ...

These are tiny, discrete whirlpools that each carry a fixed amount of angular momentum. The scientists used the nanoparticle "stones" to study the process of vortex reconnection, in which lines of ...

(Nanowerk News) Lord Kelvin theorized in 1880 that stimulating a thin vortex line would produce a helical deformation, later known as a Kelvin wave. While these waves have been observed in classical ...

Figure 1. Three-dimensional polarization distribution of BaTiO3 nanoparticles revealed by atomic electron tomography. (Left) Schematic of the electron tomography technique, which involves acquiring ...
