Tiny 'cages' show how glass goes from liquid to solid

A new clue may get researchers closer to cracking the physics mystery of why glass looks and behaves the way it does.

Sliding walls - a new paradigm for microfluidic devices

Researchers propose a new paradigm for actuation in microfluidic devices based on rigid or semi-rigid walls with transversal dimensions of hundreds of micrometres that are able to slide within a microfluidic chip and to intersect microchannels with hand-driven or translation stage-based actuation.

Scientists capture 3D images of nanoparticles, atom by atom, with unprecedented precision

Scientists have developed a technique that produces atomic-scale 3D images of nanoparticles tumbling in liquid between sheets of graphene, the thinnest material possible.
