(Nanowerk Spotlight) The precise positioning of nanoparticles on surfaces is key to most nano- technology applications especially molecular electronics. However, for automated patterning of particles, ...

Engineers at Yale University have developed a new, highly efficient technique for separating, sorting, and concentrating synthetic microscopic particles within complex fluids based on size. The new ...

Researchers investigate why pebbles and boulders on asteroid Itokawa's surface occupy separate regions. In 2005, the Hayabusa spacecraft developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) ...

Sorting. It’s a classic problem that’s been studied for decades, and it’s a great first step towards “thinking algorithmically.” Over the years, a handful of sorting algorithms have emerged, each ...
