NIST scientists have devised and modeled a unique optical method of sorting microscopic and nanoscopic particles by size, with a resolution as fine as 1 nanometer (nm) for particles of similar ...
Nearly a half-century ago, scientists noticed that small particles flowing through a long tube can stay at a specific position along the cross-section of a tube. This is known as inertial focusing.
The Belgian cooperative BelOrta recently took a new sorting center into use. Its completion was delayed by several months, but the fully automatic optical sorting lines are now processing the first ...
