A study shows that similarly charged particles can sometimes attract, rather than repel. The team found that like-charged particles suspended in liquids can attract one another at long-range, ...

A new study published in Nature Nanotechnology has shown that long-range attraction between similarly charged particles in solution is possible. Remarkably, the group also discovered that, depending ...

Metasurfaces have proven their utility in sensing applications where there is very little material of interest available for detection. Surrounding each metasurface aperture, there is a quantifiable ...

"Opposites charges attract; like charges repel" is a fundamental principle of basic physics. But a new study from Oxford University, published today in Nature Nanotechnology, has demonstrated that ...

The study found that negatively charged silica microparticles suspended in water attracted each other to form hexagonally arranged clusters. Image credit: Cover image: Zhang Kang. A study published ...
