Watching how worms behave in droplets is the basis for a new assay that could find use in high-throughput drug screening
... and Mason have made nanoemulsions containing billions of double nanodroplets. Their research, reporting on droplets smaller than 100 nanometers — the world's smallest double emulsions — appears in the ...
LLOS ANGELES, Calif., Sept. 8 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists say they have created nanoscale droplets much smaller than a human cell that might be able to deliver pharmaceuticals.
Humidifiers using fine droplets of water have invaded hypermarket fruit and vegetable display units and Parisian café terraces during heat waves. Today, the humidification technique has been extended ...
... required for this is complex, big and expensive. Alternatively, the technique of bouncing droplets was introduced in 2005 but until now it could only be used on a specific range of droplets with high ...
Long and close-up views of droplets rolling while suspended over a vibrating oil bath.
... and using a “liquid electric motor” technique to spin them, researchers can investigate how the droplets change shape. Rather than being just a curious experiment, the results could provide insights ...
... . The team, then based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.), did this by bouncing a tiny droplet on a soap film, using an inexpensive speaker to drive the miniature trampoline. [More]
... for Spartin in regulating the cell's lipid storage depots. Cells transport excess fats into lipid droplets (LDs), where they are kept until needed as sources of energy, but little is known about LD ...
Researchers have developed a new kind of self-propelling oil droplet – a ‘primitive type of chemical machinery’
... job of reinstating a normal P53 suppressor gene is done, the nanoparticle – essentially a little fat droplet wrapped around the gene – simply melts away, unlike non-biodegradable delivery systems.
