Simulating the attraction of zwitterionic ‘Janus Particles’

The Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology and The Institute of Industrial Science at The University of Tokyo scientists have used a new computer simulation to model the electrostatic self-organization of zwitterionic nanoparticles. These are useful for drug delivery. They found that including...

Researchers discover what happens on the bright side of the moon

HSE University researchers have developed a mathematical model. It will explain the levitation of charged dust particles over the sunlit lunar surface for almost any latitude. The model takes into account the Earth's magnetotail, for the first time. Earth's magnetotail is a particular area...

Physicist solves century old problem of radiation reaction

Scientists have proposed a radical solution to the question of how a charged particle responded to its own electromagnetic field. Dr. Jonathan Gratus, mathematical physicist, has suggested an alternative approach as a solution to the question. The research has been published in Journal of Physics...

Researchers develop novel microscopic picoshell particles

High-energy fats by microalgae provides a sustainable, renewable energy source. This can help tackle climate change. Microalgae produce lipids rapidly which usually grow slowly themselves. It makes it difficult to increase overall yields. UCLA bioengineers have created have created a new type of petri dish....

Scientists recommend system of checkpoints to help climate engineering research

Scientists have done research into engineering techniques. These techniques can be applied to artificially cool the planet. It has poses some of the thorniest questions facing society today. Scientists said, this tension is formed by the lack of a broadly accepted oversight framework to...

Scientists found oxygen ions in Jupiter’s innermost radiation belts

Earth, Jupiter and Saturn have global magnetic fields of their own. These are surrounded by so-called radiation belts. These belts are trapped in the magnetic field. These have fast moved charged particles like electrons, protons and heavier ions whiz around. These forms invisible and...
