Protein-based therapeutics have transformed treatments for numerous diseases, yet their production remains highly complex and cost-intensive [1][2],[3][4]. Downstream processing (DSP), including ...

Microgravity experiments on board the International Space Station, combined with particle-resolved direct numerical simulations, were conducted to investigate the long-term flocculation behavior of ...

Asphaltene deposition may pose serious challenges to flow assurance of crude oil in well columns. Different aggregation kinetics would partly be responsible for asphaltene particle growth ending in ...

A new study shows that polyethylene glycol coatings keep nanoparticles stable during freeze drying, while the protein albumin helps protect other surfaces and improves their safety in use. (Nanowerk ...

Polyethylene, a plastic that is both cheap and easy to process, accounts for nearly one-third of the world's plastic waste. An interdisciplinary team from the University of Bayreuth has investigated ...
