Researchers develop innovative way to understand nature of an entire tiny particle
(PHYSorg.com Physics)

New research from the University of New Hampshire has led to the development of a novel technique to determine the surface area and volume of small particles, the size of a grain of sand or smaller. Due to their tiny size, irregular shape and limited viewing angle, commonly used microscopic imaging techniques cannot always capture the whole object`s shape often leaving out valuable information that can be important in numerous areas of science, engineering and medicine.
