Researchers have detailed the physics behind a phenomenon that allows them to create spin in liquid droplets using ultrasound waves, which concentrates solid particles suspended in the liquid. The ...

I've got a question for you guys. Do you think I can fit this length of polystyrene into this jar? Yes. No. No? Yeah? I like that – you lot have got some faith in me! Excellent. Right, this is what we ...

Green hydrogen can be produced directly in a photoelectrochemical cell, splitting water with solar energy. However, this requires the development of super-efficient photoelectrodes that need to ...

Researchers have developed a method to shape solid materials using a corn starch solution. The process offers a potential technique for material cutting and manufacturing processes. New York ...

We describe devices in which optics and fluidics are used synergistically to synthesize novel functionalities. Fluidic replacement or modification leads to reconfigurable optical systems, whereas the ...

Metasurfaces have proven their utility in sensing applications where there is very little material of interest available for detection. Surrounding each metasurface aperture, there is a quantifiable ...

A new blue fluorescent molecule set new top emission efficiencies in both solid and liquid states, according to a University of Michigan-led study that could pave the way for applications in ...

The term colloid describes a system consisting of one substance finely dispersed in another, normally a solvent. The size of particles found in a colloidal dispersion range between 1 and 1000 ...

Students will be able to explain that mixing substances can cause a chemical reaction that results in the formation of a new substance. Students will be able to plan and carry out an investigation to ...

Introduction Have you ever wondered how gels are made? You probably have several kinds of products around your house—some that you eat—that use gels: puddings, diapers, shoe insoles, packaging, ice ...
