Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and light scattering techniques have become indispensable tools for elucidating the complex behaviour of fluid mixtures at the microscopic level. MD simulations ...

This article will outline how the different types of light scattering can be utilized in the characterization of vaccines. By quantifying multiple characteristics such as shape, size, molar mass and ...

When a laser experiment fails to produce the expected flash of light, most researchers would assume something went wrong with the hardware. In this case, the missing signal turned out to be the most ...

Heterogeneous liquid samples are frequently subjected to dynamic light scattering as the method depends on the Brownian Motion effect to identify dispersed particles by their hydrodynamic radii. This ...

A cloud of ultracold atoms is like a motel with a neon “no vacancy” sign. If a guest at the motel wants to switch rooms, they’re out of luck. No vacant rooms means there’s no choice but to stay put.

Dynamic Light Scattering is commonly used to rapidly measure the hydrodynamic size and size dispersity of nanoparticles in suspension. Several commercial DLS instruments exist, using a range of ...

New spin on topology: spin guided light scattering has been observed in a liquid crystal (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Serg-DAV) Just as topological insulators provide protection to electrons travelling ...
