Aug. 16, 2023 — Researchers have demonstrated the use of a specially coated metal mesh to harvest water from fog and simultaneously remove pollutants. People living in foggy areas with low rainfall should benefit ...
Aug. 16, 2023 — Pouring flecks of rust into water usually makes it dirtier. But researchers have developed special iron oxide nanoparticles called 'smart rust' that actually makes it cleaner. The magnetic ...
Aug. 14, 2023 — New research examines the critical problem of drinking water access in rural areas of developing countries and recommends optimal locations to build new water ...
Aug. 10, 2023 — New research confirms fracking causes slow, small earthquakes or tremors, whose origin was previously a mystery to scientists. The tremors are produced by the same processes that could create large, ...
Aug. 9, 2023 — Gold (Au)-based electrocatalysts used for hydrogen production via water electrolysis exhibit high chemical stability but low hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity. Alloying them with nickel (Ni) ...
July 31, 2023 — Whether they're made from soybeans, almonds, oats, or just sourced straight from the cow, milk products must go through heat treatment to prevent harmful bacterial growth and keep them safe. But ...
July 31, 2023 — Chemical engineering researchers have overcome the challenge of designing such properly self-aligning structures by using fluid mechanics, chemo-mechanical processes -- and a little ...
July 31, 2023 — Many substances change their properties when they are cooled below a certain critical temperature. Such a phase transition occurs, for example, when water freezes. However, in certain metals there ...
July 31, 2023 — An unusual discovery is now being developed as an on-demand cooling solution for high-flying military ...
July 22, 2023 — Chemists have demonstrated that water remediation can be powered in part -- and perhaps even exclusively -- by renewable energy ...
July 19, 2023 — Almost everyone has a bag of veggies shoved into the dark recesses of their freezer that's now essentially an unrecognizable block of ice crystals. And when thawed, foods damaged by excessive ...
July 18, 2023 — Researchers report achieving self-sustaining and long-term levitation of millimeter-sized droplets of several different liquids without any external forces. To get the droplets to levitate, they use ...
July 14, 2023 — Mechanical engineering and materials science advancements could revolutionize safety equipment for athletes and ...
July 11, 2023 — Over the past several years, researchers have been developing soft analogues of traditionally rigid robotic components. In fluid-driven robotic systems, pumps control the pressure or flow of the ...
July 11, 2023 — In Physics of Fluids, Vega et al. researched human tears at the micron level to reveal new ways of customizing artificial tears to address individual symptoms of dry eye disease. The detailed ...
July 11, 2023 — An interdisciplinary team presents a study of the dynamics of buoyant spheres at the air-water interface. Their work reveals complex hydrodynamics involved in forming horizontal air cavities and the ...
