Researchers can move microscopic particles and droplets into precise patterns by harnessing the power of sound in air. The implications for printing, especially in the fields of medicine and ...

New ice lithography method enables creation of nanoscale patterns on living tardigrades, advancing integration of biological systems with technology for sensing and monitoring. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Physicists in London have accidentally invented a box with a laser that can detect microscopic patterns in paper. The device is being marketed as a detection tool for forged documents. Forgery is a ...

Recent scientific advancements have opened new opportunities for the close observation of physical phenomena. Researchers at University of Cambridge and University of Newcastle recently introduced a ...

Engineers have found a way to shepherd microrobots with no wires, no radios, and no onboard computers. Instead, they steer them with light patterns designed using the same math physicists use to ...

A sugar mixture similar to hard candy studded with tiny metal discs or rings has been used to deposit patterns onto microscopic objects. This method of creating texture on small objects could be ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Michigan have created the world's smallest fully programmable ...

We've already seen antibacterial surfaces that kill microbes on contact, but scientists in the UK have recently gone a different and potentially more effective route. They've created maze-like surface ...

Scientists at the Vienna University of Technology have developed a brand new method for positioning molecules in space with micrometer precision. They call it “3D-photografting,” and it uses laser ...

Laura Brazan is fascinated by the microscopic patterns that appear in the world. As a designer, master engraver and gold inlay artist, she works in fine detail to make those patterns part of her work ...

As the "working draft" of the human genome is officially published today, scientists are unveiling powerful tools to make the crucial data more useful to medical researchers. One team, the BAC ...

Diversity and Distributions, Vol. 29, No. 7 (July 2023), pp. 821-833 (13 pages) Aim: The interplay between distribution ranges, species traits and sampling and taxonomic biases remains elusive amongst ...
