It has long been known that the optical resonances of ultrahigh-Q whispering gallery mode resonators can split under the influence of particle scattering. Now scientists have exploited this splitting ...

Dispersions of polymer particles in a liquid phase (latexes) have many important applications in coatings technology, medical imaging, and cell biology. A team of researchers has now developed a ...

The void fraction, an important powder packing property, directly impacts many of the powder's physical characteristics and applications. To demonstrate how the variation in powder particle size ...

Silicon oxides such as SiO 2 are the most abundant component of the earth’s crust. They can be found in nature in crystalline form and are industrially manufactured in many forms, including colloidal ...
