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 ...

A new method of separating isotopes using lasers has been unveiled by scientists in the US. In the short term, the technique could be used to purify lithium-7, which is used to cool nuclear reactors.

1. The dilution method followed by the peculiar manner of plating as outlined makes it possible to separate fungi from bacteria and protozoa. 2. As a result of this separation it is possible to ...

With the absence of efficient drugs and vaccines, the combat against the pathogens causing these diseases has been largely based on methods including larval source reduction and use of insecticides.

Researchers have developed a new chemical separation method that is vastly more efficient than conventional processes, opening the door to faster discovery of new elements, easier nuclear fuel ...
