In nanoscale particle research, precise control and separation have long been a bottleneck in biotechnology. Researchers at ...

A microfluidic approach combines electric slip and viscoelastic forces to sort nanoscale particles, increasing the purity of synthetic beads and cell vesicles.

Rare earth elements are essential for modern technology, but their similar chemistry makes separation difficult and expensive ...

Researchers from MIT, Carnegie Mellon University and Pennsylvania State University have developed a novel technique of separating cells with the use of a gentle sound wave. The technique could ...

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) plays a major role in the early detection of various types of cancer. A research group led by Specially Appointed Professor Katsumi Kaneko of the Research Initiative ...

A novel method to extract lignin could help spin wheat straw into gold. Lignin produced using the new method was color-neutral, odorless and homogenous, an advance that could make this carbon-neutral ...
