Understanding the evaporation process of binary sessile droplets is essential for optimizing various technical processes, such as inkjet printing or heat transfer. Liquid mixtures whose evaporation ...

A morphogen is a type of signalling molecule that imparts pattern to a developmental field by acting directly on cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The best-studied model system for ...

Biophysicists at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munch have developed a new theory, which accounts for the observation that cells can perceive their own shapes, and use this information to ...

SEVERAL methods have been suggested for the observation of one-dimensional concentration and concentration gradients in liquids, a problem occurring in electrophoresis, ultracentrifuging and diffusion ...

The proposed approach allows precise and independent control of average composition, slope, and curvature of full concentration gradients in high-nickel cathodes, resulting in lithium-ion batteries ...

In a ground-breaking study, researchers report a new technique that allows them to visualize the distribution of retinoic acid in a live zebrafish embryo, in real-time. This technique enabled them to ...

A new article provides new insights into how immune cells find their way through tissues. The findings provide the first evidence for directed cell migration along concentration gradients of chemical ...

Scientists designed autonomous nanovesicles capable of following glucose concentration gradients, even through the blood brain barrier in rats. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with ...

Composition-gradient multi-angle light scattering (CG-MALS) is a biophysical technique that can be used to measure the self-association of macromolecules in solution. This technique allows fast, ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach that can help create safer and long-lasting lithium-ion batteries. Combined with an automated reactor system, the mathematical x-framework allows unlimited ...
