Researchers at Aalto University have discovered a new force acting on water droplets moving over superhydrophobic surfaces like black silicon by adapting a novel force…
A revised method to create hydrophobic surfaces has implications for any technology where water meets a solid surface, from optics and microfluidics to cooking. Researchers…
A species of spider lives its entire life underwater, despite having lungs that can only breathe atmospheric oxygen. How does it do it? This spider,…
Newly discovered nanotubes may have a big impact on environmental cleanup. By adding boron to carbon during the nanotube-creating process, researchers found that the resulting…
