Capillary Action

Researchers tested a treatment on cartilage and bone tissue cultures subjected to compressive impact injury and found differences in the metabolites and

We tested dozens of cooling sheet sets for months. Bedgear's Ver-Tex Sheets are the best.

Changing weather patterns, like dry-wet and freeze-thaw cycles, significantly impact the release of harmful chemicals known as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) from soils at e-waste recycling sites. Tiny soil particles, called colloids, play a crucial role in moving these pollutants. New research from Nankai University emphasizes the need to consider these natural cycles when assessing environmental risks and…

Hollow-structured supported metal catalysts (i.e. nanoreactor catalysts) with encapsulated active sites and well-defined shells provide an ideal place for multicomponents to react or transform cooperatively in an orderly manner, and efficiently have been recognized as one of the most popular catalyst candidates.

In experiments aboard the International Space Station, a surface treatment developed by MIT engineers prevented the growth of microbial biofims. These films can damage equipment and potentially cause illness.

One of the most common and practically useful experiments in all of fluid dynamics involves holding an object in air or submerging it fully underwater, exposing it to a steady flow to measure its resistance in the form of drag. Studies on drag resistance have led to technological advances in airplane and vehicle design and even advanced our understanding of environmental processes.

Wearable sensors are becoming a promising tool in personalized health care and exercise monitoring. In a recent study, researchers from Japan have developed a novel wearable chemical sensor capable of measuring the concentration of chloride ions in sweat. By using a heat-transfer printing technique, the proposed sensor can be applied to the outer surface of common textiles to prevent skin irritation and allergies,…

Summer officially starts this month. Use these essential tips for exercising safely in the heat.

Semicrystalline polymers are solids that are assumed to flow only above their melting temperature. In a new study published in Science Advances, Chien-Hua Tu and a research team at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Germany and the University of Ioannina Greece confined crystals within nanoscopic cylindrical pores to show the flowing nature of semicrystalline polymers below their melting point,…

The initial April 2023 opening of the Integration Bridge (Puente de la Integracion), connecting Brazil with Paraguay, unveiled a crucial new traffic link between the two countries. The Penetron System was specified to protect the bridge's concrete deck structures from deterioration.

CTL Amedica Corporation has received 510k clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market the NITRO Interbody Fusion Cage System Family, designated K220513 and made entirely of the fusion biomaterial silicon nitride. CTL Amedica is the world's exclusive provider of silicon nitride spine products.

Research has shown that a thin cellulose film can inactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus within minutes, inhibit the growth of bacteria including E. coli, and mitigate contact transfer of pathogens.

Technology and business issues mean it won't replace EUV, but photonics, biotech and other markets provide plenty of room for growth.

Researchers from Xi'an Jiaotong University revealed the atomic flow behavior of nano-joints in AgNWs Interconnect Network. In order to further improve the joint quality, the thermal welding process and atomic evolution behavior of Ag nanowires were studied through a combination of in situ experimental and molecular dynamics simulations.

What are the hydrocarbon seas on Titan really like? While the upcoming Dragonfly helicopter mission to Saturn's hazy and frigid moon should arrive by 2034 to explore Titan's atmosphere, the need remains for a mission that could study the moon's mysterious seas and lakes, filled with liquid hydrocarbons.

Pack light and stay agile with one of these top lightweight sleeping bags.

Traditional viscometers rely on capillary flow, and falling balls are simple and effective means for measuring fluid viscosity over a large range. However, their low measurement throughput and lack of real-time monitoring capabilities limit their scope of application.

Researchers at Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) developed a new glass fiber design that enables exceptionally long observations of a large number of individual, freely moving nanoparticles in a liquid. This allows the size distribution of nano-objects in a sample to be determined with even higher precision. The scientists are thus laying the foundation for even better research into…
