Particle size characterization in nanosuspensions often focuses on ‘majority’ features of the size distribution. Yet, for various suspensions in (bio)pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals, small fractions ...

NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

Local farmers say decades of incompetent water management has led to a situation in which they can't use rainwater from reservoirs - Copyright AFP/File Chris DELMAS ...

Soil aggregates are groups of individual soil particles that bind to each other more strongly than adjacent particles. Aggregates that don’t fall apart and revert to individual soil particles when ...

Bioprocessors must minimize the aggregation of therapeutic proteins, but that’s not an easy task. Proteins can aggregate during any step from manufacturing to administering a drug. “The aggregation ...

This past spring, the U.S. Pharmacopeia indicated that it was considering new guidelines for the determination of particulate matter in therapeutic formulations. Existing guidelines emphasize the use ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu Scientists are detecting nanoplastics in human brain tissue and exploring how these particles may influence the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, but major questions about ...

Homogenization is crucial in soy milk manufacturing, improving its taste and stability. This process involves exposing the liquid to intense shearing and breaking down large fat globules and protein ...

Plastics are everywhere—from packaging and textiles to electronics and medical devices. As plastic waste breaks down, it releases microscopic particles that can penetrate our ecosystems, hinder plant ...
