NYU researchers have found a way to use light to control how microscopic particles assemble into crystals, effectively ...

Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

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, ...

The types of glass that we encounter in everyday life, such as window glass or smartphone screens, are disordered solids. This means that they consist of particles locked in place, like those in ...

(Nanowerk News) Colloids are microparticles in a solution, meaning the particles are evenly distributed. Crystals made from colloids are valuable in a wide range of applications such as batteries, ...
