NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, ...

Researchers at NYU have developed a way to use light to precisely direct how microscopic particles assemble into crystals. The findings, published today (February 24) in the Cell Press journal Chem, ...

We expect crystals to be rigid and brittle, so scientists were shocked when some of their crystals seemed to come alive under a microscope. They hope to use the unusual behavior to make tiny machines ...

A team of researchers has created a new way to visualize crystals by peering inside their structures, akin to having X-ray vision. Their new technique -- which they aptly named 'Crystal Clear' -- ...

Robots and cameras of the future could be made of liquid crystals, thanks to a new discovery that significantly expands the potential of the chemicals already common in computer displays and digital ...

A lubricant's composition involves a carefully balanced blend of various elements, including base oils and additives, which collectively influence its performance and longevity during operation.

UB-HWI offers a range of Structural Services to academic and industrial partners including single-particle cryo-EM, microcrystal-electron diffraction, and crystallization screening. Our philosophy is ...

The new technique allows scientists to see each particle that makes up colloidal crystals and to create dynamic three-dimensional models. A team of New York University researchers has created a new ...
