A team of nanomaterial scientists and mechanical engineers at MIT have created a superhydrophobic material that is 10,000 times more slippery than existing hydrophobic surface. This could seriously ...
What do a non-stick pan, a raincoat and a medical stent have in common? They all have water-repelling properties that resist water uptake or degradation by hydrolysis. Hydrophobicity, the capacity to ...
Researchers pioneer a mechanochemical approach using water as a green initiator to transform renewable resources into high-performance porous materials capable of capturing CO₂ while removing ...
A microrobotic tool uses magnetic control and hydrophobic particles to cut water surfaces and create reconfigurable platforms for fluidic applications. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Many of the most advanced ...
Schematic of a water-oil immiscible alternative microfluidic experiment conducted under constant differential pressure. The microfluidic chip used is a uniform type with a constant pore structure and ...
A simple gas-phase method produces a form of graphene whose ability to repel water rivals that of lotus leaves. The finding may lead to an inexpensive way to make bulk quantities of the material for ...
