Simulations reveal how aged nanoplastics form stable aggregates with organic matter, influencing their transport in aquatic ...

Researchers have developed COK-47, a solid lubricant that outperforms traditional options by leveraging water molecules to ...

The evaporation rate is quantitatively assessed and compared by testing a range of temperatures (30, 60, and 80 °C) and gas ...

Previously predicted by theoretical models, we now have the first experimental observation of plastic Ice VII.

Much like skin, hair color requires protection from harmful UV rays. Extended sun exposure accelerates color fading by ...

Mussels produce a sort of waterproof glue, which is much more powerful than synthetic adhesives and keeps them from being ...

Before the shovels or snow blowers come out when dawn is just awakening, it’s nice to stand outside and experience a certain kind of peace you never feel except at this time in winter.

When it comes to snow flakes, you may have heard that no two snow flakes are alike. In nature that especially true. But how can that be when billions of flakes ...

Researchers from TU Wien (Vienna) have presented a new type of material with very special properties: The lubricant COK-47 is ...

Detailed investigations have now shown that in a humid environment, water molecules separate the bonds between the titanium ...

These chemical bonds are among the strongest ever ... He describes it as a pile of tiny sticks, between which water molecules may pass. That means there’s a high surface area for attracting ...

If we're looking for life as we don't know it, the best solvent out there may be concentrated sulfuric acid — the stuff that's floating around in the clouds of Venus.
