The dual hydrophobic–hydrophilic behaviour of the new material. Researchers have made the first ever highly porous, mechanically flexible and stretchable inorganic nanomaterial that is both ...
Researchers have demonstrated that engineered surfaces can be hydrophilic – meaning they have a strong affinity for water – and yet extremely slippery. The work runs counter to conventional wisdom ...
At the nanoscale, the chemistry of surfaces plays a decisive role in how particles move and where they end up. A new study published in Advancing Earth and Space Sciences highlights the importance of ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Surfaces that repel water can support efficient boiling if all air and vapor is removed from a system first, according to research featured on the cover of the most recent issue ...
Primary-effluent wastewater from the Allegheny County Sanitary Authority (Pennsylvania) was used as a surrogate for combined-sewer-overflow waters contained in the sewershed. Pathogens contained in ...
