Controlling a vortex using polymers
A vortex in the atmosphere can churn with enough power to create a typhoon. But more subtle vortices form constantly in nature. Many of them are too small to be seen with the naked eye.

Landmark experiment on wave interference from the early 1800s is revisited using gold nanoparticles
In the eighteenth century, scientists faced a conundrum: is light a wave or a particle? One of strongest pieces of evidence to support the 'wave view'—the landmark double-slit experiment—was reported in 1804 by the scientist ...
