Reduction of adhesion and stiction is crucial for robust operation on nanomechanical and optofluidic devices as well as atom and molecule behaviour near surfaces. It can be achieved using electric ...

Few of us pay attention to the minutiae of coffee stains' deposition patterns. However, physicists have previously explained the increased deposition of ground coffee particles near the edge of an ...

(Nanowerk News) A superlattice is an ordered structure formed from repeating building units, such as nanoparticles. Superlattice structures formed by the self-assembly of nanoparticles are emerging as ...

Zeta potential is a key indicator of the stability of colloidal dispersions and nanoparticle suspensions. It measures the electrical potential difference between the bulk of the liquid and the ...

We introduce a semi-implicit Euler–Maruyama approximation which preserves the noncolliding property for some class of noncolliding particle systems such as Dyson–Brownian motions, ...
