Accurately modeling irregularly-shaped particles isn’t easy, but a new study found a way to improve a century-old idea.

Exotic particles called neutrinos have been caught in the act of shape-shifting, switching from one flavor to another, in a discovery that could help solve the mystery of antimatter. Neutrinos come in ...

Real-time dynamic image analysis delivers detailed concentration measurements critical for distinguishing stem cell populations from debris.

The shape of nanoparticles that carry DNA through the body can be changed to increase their effectiveness in fighting cancer and other diseases, a team of researchers concluded in a paper published ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Lasers are used to carry out functions ranging from reading a bar code label at the grocery store to shooting down enemy missiles in space. Now, chemists at Purdue University ...

A study into the way nanoparticles scatter light could lead to simpler and smaller optical nanoantennas with improved directivity and efficiency -- crucial components for the next generation of ...

When the world's most powerful particle accelerator starts up later this year, exotic new particles may offer a glimpse of the existence and shapes of extra dimensions. String theory, which describes ...
