Viscoelastics are surgical tools that have been developed to make cataract surgery safer and easier by protecting ocular structures, as well as keeping the eye formed and compartmentalized. There are ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . This is a simple and novel technique to efficiently and cost-effectively save an unnecessary extra viscoelastic ...

Encapsulated microbubbles (EMBs), tiny gas-filled bubbles coated in lipid or protein shells, play a central role in biomedical ultrasound. When exposed to ultrasound waves, EMBs contract, resulting in ...

The search for a technique that can measure local viscoelastic properties with nanoscale or molecular resolution on soft heterogeneous materials such as polymers has been challenging. Now, scientists ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Liquid droplets of protein and RNA have traits reminiscent of a childhood joy: Silly Putty. That’s according to a study by scientists at the University at Buffalo and Iowa State ...

What are the differences between nanoscale and bulk phases? What are the viscoelastic properties in an interphase or next to an interface? What is the impact of these properties on load transfer, as a ...

Scientists have developed a new method that improves dispensing of viscoelastic fluids - a vital process for circuit board production, 3D printing and other industrial applications. The scientists ...

Researchers report nontoxic, biodegradable viscoelastic carrier fluids to enhance the retention of fire retardants on wildfire-prone vegetation through increased resistance to environmental exposure ...

Quantitative characterization of nanomechanical properties has invariably been a holy grail for atomic force microscopy. This article explains some of the industry’s earlier attempts made at ...
