Quartz Crystal Microbalance

In a new paper published in JACS Au, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign analyzed the effects of solvation and ion valency on metallopolymers, with implications for critical materials recovery and recycling, and environmental remediation.

A recent study by Tokyo Tech researchers has found that the biofilm-forming bacteria E. coli adheres firmly to hydrophobic and hydrophilic protein-adsorbing self-assembling monolayers (SAMs) and weakly to hydrophilic protein-resisting SAMs. These findings on how surface chemistry can influence the adhesion of bacterial cells and, in turn, biofilm formation could inform the development of bacteria-resistant surfaces…

Texas A&M researchers have found a significant increase in the storage capacity of water-based battery electrodes. Texas A&M University scientists have discovered a 1,000% difference in the storage capacity of metal-free, water-based battery electrodes. The metal-free water-based batteri

Entropic repulsion caused by interfacial orientational fluctuations of cholesterol layers restricts protein adsorption and bacterial adhesion, providing a conceptually new physicochemical perspective on biointerfaces that may guide future material design in regulation of adhesion.

Texas A&M researchers discovered a groundbreaking 1,000% increase in the storage capacity of water-based battery electrodes. This research is a step toward lithium-free batteries, allowing for better control over the domestic supply chain.
