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 ...

Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the ...

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 ...

Geologists studying ancient desert rocks have stumbled on a microscopic tunnel system that looks uncannily deliberate, 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 ...

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 ...

Coral reefs don’t just shape marine life you can see, they also control the daily rhythms of invisible microbes nearby.
