“We've demonstrated that not only are particles useful for making bubbles last longer, they fundamentally alter the properties of these bubbles. Instead of behaving like a fluid surface that flows to balance unequal stresses, the 'armor' of particles on the surface of the bubbles actually supports the unequal stresses inherent in non-spherical shapes.”
Anand Bala Subramaniam
“For everything exists and not one sigh nor smile nor tear, one hair nor particle of dust, not one can pass away.”
William Blake
“The prediction was that we would get a dozen particles larger than human hair size and one particle a little bit larger than a millimeter.”
Donald Brownlee
“The combination of improved particle properties and more efficient inhaler designs is creating new opportunities for dry powder inhalation and expanding the range of active compounds that can be effectively delivered via the lung. We believe dry powder inhalation will become a major factor in the delivery of a number of emerging therapeutics.”
George Perros
“The particles are so small they should not last very long. You couldn't have the E ring just sit there for the age of the solar system. It had to be regenerated somehow.”
John Spencer
“Janus particles may be useful for directed drug delivery.”
Joerg Lahann
“Particles have been used to stabilize emulsions and foams for over 100 years. However, we've demonstrated that not only are particles useful for making bubbles last longer, they fundamentally alter the properties of these bubbles. Instead of behaving like a fluid surface that flows to balance unequal stresses, the 'armor' of particles on the surface of the bubbles actually supports the unequal stresses inherent in non-spherical shapes.”
