The solidity of concrete, the taste of chocolate, or the solubility of drugs – these are just a few examples of chemical or physical material properties which are affected by particle size. Thus, the ...

Physicists have proven theoretically that active sieving, as opposed to its passive counterpart, can improve the separation abilities of filtration systems. Active sieving also has the potential to ...

A research team has successfully developed a new method that can prevent the crossover of large fuel molecules and suppress the degradation of electrodes in advanced fuel cell technology using ...

In modern mineral exploration and processing, the accuracy of particle size analysis stands as a foundational element for reliable lab testing and operational optimization, and the high-precision ...

The exponentially increasing implementation of renewable energy systems, such as wind and solar energy, are urgently demanding the development of large-scale energy storage devices with flexibility, ...

Microfabricated regular sieving structures hold great promise as an alternative to gels to improve the speed and resolution of biomolecule separation. In contrast to disordered porous gel networks, ...

Without a sieve or a mill, pharmaceutical tablet manufacture is almost impossible. These are required whenever active and inactive materials are handled, when tablets or other products are made.

A new cross-linking method creates 3-micron membranes with angstrom-scale pores, boosting efficiency in flow batteries by overcoming selectivity-permeability trade-offs. (Nanowerk News) Polymeric ...

Physicists from École Normale Supérieure and Paris Science and Letters University in France have proven theoretically that active sieving, as opposed to its passive counterpart, can improve the ...
