Emulsions that mix immiscible liquids are central to products from food to cosmetics. For instance, emulsions like mayonnaise mix liquids that don’t normally blend. They require added molecules called ...

The biodegradable polymer Poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is widely regarded as safe for use in medical applications, seeing common use in the creation of particles used in in vivo studies.

Janus nanoparticles, characterised by their dual-faced surface chemistry, have garnered significant attention for their unique ability to mediate interfacial phenomena. Their asymmetry allows them to ...

What are Liquid Crystal Nanoparticles? Liquid crystal nanoparticles (LCNPs) are a unique class of nanomaterials that combine the properties of liquid crystals with the advantages of nanoparticles.

The development of methods for the large-scale production of nanoparticles has become of intense interest to researchers in recent years. In the quickly developing field of nanomedicine, metals such ...

The global push to reduce plastic waste has intensified interest in paper as a sustainable packaging material. Derived from renewable plant fibers, paper is biodegradable, recyclable, and widely ...

A new type of 'bijel' could one day lead to applications in soft robotics, liquid circuitry, and a host of other applications that could benefit from shape-shifting fluids. A new two-dimensional film, ...
