NYU physicists shine a light on particle assembly
New York NY (SPX) Feb 01, 2013
New York University physicists have developed a method for moving microscopic particles with the flick of a light switch. Their work, reported in the journal Science, relies on a blue light to prompt colloids to move and then assemble-much like birds flock and move together in flight. The method offers the potential to enhance the design of a range of industrial products, including the architecture of electronics. The study's authors were: Jeremie Palacci and Stefano Sacanna, post-doctoral f ... read more
