If you’re teeny tiny, like microscopic or even nanoscopic in size, existence can be hard. One example of a difficulty a particle of that size might face is how to transport the necessary nutrients ...
Conditions can get rough in the micro- and nanoworld. For example, to ensure that nutrients can still be optimally transported within cells, the minuscule transporters involved need to respond to the ...
Physicists show how microscopic particles can harness fluctuations and external forces to minimize transport energy and even extract usable work. A particle (red sphere) is guided from left to its ...
A pioneering method to simulate how microscopic particles move through the air could boost efforts to combat air pollution, a study suggests. A pioneering method to simulate how microscopic particles ...
A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.
