Team Builds World's Smallest, Fastest Nanomotor @LabEquipment

Uploaded May 2014 | Updated September 2026, 2 days ago

Researchers have built the smallest, fastest and longest-running synthetic motor to date. The team's nanomotor is an important step toward developing miniature machines that could one day move through the body to administer insulin for diabetics when needed, or target and treat cancer cells without harming good cells.

Technology Yields Real-Time 3D Teleconferencing

$Sizing Up Particle Size This video shows real-time particle imaging during the wet dispersion stage of laser diffraction particle size measurement and was recorded using a lens-less imaging accessory (Mastersizer 3000 and Hydro Sight accessory, Malvern Instruments). Images of the sample dispersion are captured as it flows through a specially designed imaging cell. Installation directly in-line, between a standard laser diffraction dispersion accessory and the measurement cell of the analyzer, makes dispersion monitoring an integral part of the analytic process.$
