Science news articles about 'particle aggregates'

  • Nanojewels made easy

    ... Chemical Engineering at NCSU have shown how colloid chemistry methods originally used to form particle aggregates from nanoparticles can be used to quickly make particles with dazzling colors simply ...
  • Sea urchin yields a key secret of biomineralization

    ... we found, instead, is that 40-100 nanometer amorphous calcium carbonate particles aggregate into the final morphology. One starts converting to crystalline calcite, then another immediately adjacent ...
  • JCI table of contents: May 22, 2008

    ... identify ways to prevent this happening. New insight into the mechanisms that control the number of virus particles in the blood of sooty mangabeys naturally infected with SIVsmm, the strain of SIV ...
  • Magnetic nanoparticles: Suitable for cancer therapy?

    ... new, promising means of fighting cancer. The particles serve as a carrier for drugs: "loaded" with the drugs ... know before application whether the particles tend to aggregate and thus might occlude blood ...
  • Sophisticated soil analysis for improved land use

    ... field to the molecular world of soil nano-particles in a pinch of soil. For example, in a forest or an agricultural ... including soil pore shapes, soil aggregates, water content, rate of water movement ...
  • Tracking prions

    ... their molecular structure. The word prion is derived from the term Proteinaceous Infectious Particle. These are proteins that can fold in different ways. Pathogenic prions are dangerous because they ...
  • Room temperature superconductivity

    ... the location and size of pockets of holes is an essential step to determining how these particles stick together to superconduct. (2) Their experiments have successfully accessed the region betwixt ...
  • NIST trumps the clumps: Making biologic drugs safer

    ... velocity of the air flowing through it, researchers can collect particles of a specific size, allowing the proteins and protein aggregates to be precisely sorted and counted. The NIST team adapted ...
  • August 2008 Geology and GSA Today media highlights

    ... structures in a laboratory experiment with living bacteria. Their observations suggest that these particles are probably not fossils of microbes. However, the process leading to their formation ...
  • Polymer electric storage, flexible and adaptable

    ... nano particles of ceramic with polymers is not a simple action. The ceramic particles tend to clump and aggregate. If the two materials are not matched for electrical properties, their interface will ...
  • Fatal protein interactions may explain neurological diseases

    ... scale. Used to determine the properties of complex systems that contain a vast number of particles through use of numerical methods, molecular dynamics allowed the team to model how the abnormal ...
  • Ship-in-a-bottle kit on a microchip

    ... spheres with a diameter of just about five micrometers, into the channels and cavities on the chip. As the particles contain iron oxide, they group together when they are magnetized by an external ...
  • Ship-in-a-bottle Kit On A Microchip

    Remote-controlled with a magnetic field, aggregates of plastic particles on a microchip function like stirrers and pumps.
