Electrostatic stresses can overcome surface tension on water-based dust grains, causing them to elongate.

Introduction: Anisotropic particles have been gaining popularity due to their useful properties in drug delivery applications [1]. Recently it has been shown that prolate ellipsoidal particles can ...

which is an extension to the work of Jeffery 1922, see G. Jeffery, The motion of ellipsoidal particles immersed in a viscous fluid, Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Containing ...

Starch particles can be roughly classified as polygonal and ellipsoidal. The DST and SJ behavior typically reported for concentrated cornstarch suspensions were confirmed for other starch particles in ...

Impact Statement: We study the two cases where a light wave scatters from particles with the ellipsoidal and cylindrical scattering potentials, respectively. We are the first group deriving integral ...

Microscope images of infected tissues have revealed that coronavirus particles are actually ellipsoidal, displaying a wide variety of squashed and elongated shapes. Now, a global research team, ...

Scientists have developed the most accurate model yet of how the coronavirus particles rotate, according to their ellipsoidal shape. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, images of the ...

Microscope images of infected tissues have revealed that coronavirus particles are actually ellipsoidal, displaying a wide variety of squashed and elongated shapes. Now, a global research team ...

But since the turn of the 20th century, scientists have been thinking about and finding smaller and smaller fundamental particles — those tinier than atoms that fill up the universe. So which of ...

The results indicated that the color of light absorbed by a moon dust particle is highly sensitive to its shape and can be significantly different from that of spherical or ellipsoidal particles of ...

Using a model system involving suspensions of tailor-made ellipsoidal colloids, the researchers uncovered a new state of matter, liquid glass, where individual particles are able to move yet unable to ...
