An electric field transforms an iron oxide nanoparticle suspension into a model for the emergence of complex dissipative structures. Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle ...

Overview of dynamic graphene oxide sorting: (a) The system uses electron beams on silicon nitride membranes to create electric field patterns that generate opposing forces on graphene oxide sheets. (b ...

Interesting formations: an example of droplet shapes that are produced when an electric field is applied to an oil mixture. (Courtesy: Aalto University) When a simple system of two liquids is driven ...

How piezoelectric materials are used to create a defined acoustic field. How this field, in turn, is used to develop modulate an electric field. How the combined acoustic and electric fields can ...

Glass embedded with electric-field-driven electrodes removes dust from its surface without water or scrubbing, offering a durable, passive cleaning solution for solar panels and other exposed optical ...

Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle suspension can serve as a simple model for studying the formation of patterns and structures in more complicated non-equilibrium systems, ...
