Protein research, diagnostics, and analytics have greatly benefited from the detection, identification, and analysis of macromolecules. Mass spectrometry, a commonly used detection system, has allowed for the separation of charged particles based on mass-to-charge ratio and the measurement of signal intensity generated by a detector. However, traditional detectors have had limitations, particularly in detecting particles

It’s mesmerizing how a mixture of cornstarch and water can create a substance that behaves like neither a liquid nor a solid. Known as oobleck, this non-Newtonian fluid flows like a liquid when left undisturbed but turns firm when pressure is applied. Non-Newtonian fluids, including Silly Putty, quicksand, paint, and yogurt, have perplexed scientists for
