The so-called "LEViathan" is an experimental device for planetary science research. It acoustically levitates a tiny mineral sample with a diameter of ~2 mm and subsequently heats it with a laser to temperatures of up to 3000 K. The mineral therefore melts, forming a levitating magmatic ... Read More
Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are widely used in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These therapies critically depend on the powder aerosolization and deagglomeration to reach deep lung deposition (respirable sizes are generally defined as < 5 µm in ... Read More
The Granular Flow Module was introduced in late 2025 with COMSOL Multiphysics® version 6.4, extending the software platform with a dedicated environment for the simulation of powders and bulk granular materials. Based on the discrete element method (DEM), the module resolves the ... Read More
Diamond Light Source is the UK's national synchrotron facility providing high-brightness X-ray, ultraviolet and infrared beams for multidisciplinary scientific research. To continue delivering the world-changing science that Diamond enables, the facility is being upgraded. The ongoing ... Read More
The food industry is responsible for 30% of global energy use (Corigliano & Algieri, 2024). To reduce its environmental impact, process operations are being electrified. This includes fractionation processes, which are usually performed using heat or pressure, or by adding solvents ... Read More
Green14 is developing a new, lower-impact technology for producing metal powders for additive manufacturing. From the start, the process is paired with a Physics AI loop rather than the traditional empirical FEM approach: the physical model itself is learned through a reinforcement ... Read More
Small EVs (100-600 nm), sub-micron lipid-bilayer particles, are promising therapeutic agents for conditions like neurological disorders and cancers, which can cross biological barriers, such as the blood-brain barrier, the gut barrier, and tumor barriers, to aid repair or to be modified ...

In nuclear fuel manufacturing, dry conversion is a key step used to produce UO₂ powder from crystalline UF₆ for subsequent pellet fabrication. The properties of the final material are highly sensitive to operating conditions, which makes a thorough understanding of the process crucial ... Read More
