In the field of targeted drug delivery, the effects of size and morphology of drug nanocarriers
are of great importance and need to be discussed in depth. To be concise, among all the …

Humankind has been obsessed with knots in religion, culture and daily life for millennia,
while physicists like Gauss, Kelvin and Maxwell already involved them in models centuries …

Owing to Brownian-motion effects, the precise manipulation of individual micro-and
nanoparticles in solution is challenging. Therefore, scanning-probe-based techniques, such …

For biomedical applications, such as targeted drug delivery and microsurgery, it is essential
to develop a system of swimmers that can be propelled wirelessly in fluidic environments …

Micron-sized self-propelled (active) particles can be considered as model systems for
characterizing more complex biological organisms like swimming bacteria or motile cells …

Although hydrocarbon production from unconventional reservoirs, the so-called shale gas,
has exploded recently, reliable predictions of resource availability and extraction are …

The brain is a dynamic structure with the extracellular space (ECS) taking up almost a
quarter of its volume,. Signalling molecules, neurotransmitters and nutrients transit via the …

Brownian motion of particles affects many branches of science. We report on the Brownian
motion of micrometer-sized beads of glass held in air by an optical tweezer, over a wide …

Synchronization occurs widely in the natural and technological worlds, from the rhythm of
applause and neuron firing to the quantum mechanics of coupled Josephson junctions, but …

Confined assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) is receiving increasing attention due to the
ability to create unconventional morphologies that cannot be observed in the corresponding …
