A recent study has aimed to create hydrophobic paper by exploiting the mechanical properties and water resistance of ...

[1] Based on the constraint methodology, we call this method “Gaussian Dynamics.” Drawing on our previous work that showed how electrical doping can tune the hydrophobic effect on graphene,[2] a ...

The aim was to create hydrophobic paper by exploiting the mechanical properties and water resistance of cellulose nanofibres, ...

Oil and water can be separated efficiently by pumping the mixture through thin channels between two semipermeable membranes ...

A European group of scientists has created a novel hydrophobic antireflective (AR) coating for the cover glass of PV modules. The double-layer coating uses a silica-titania (SiO2-TiO2) thin film ...

A team of chemists and engineers in China has developed a new, efficient way to separate oil and water mixtures. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes how they developed ...

Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Kharagpur 721302, India The diffusiophoresis of charged hydrophobic nanoparticles (NPs) governed by an imposed ionic concentration ...

Drought conditions continue to grow across the Ozarks, but we do finally have rain in the forecast. However, with a ground this dry, it may not drink the water up like we’d expect. Hydrophobic soil is ...

Wearable electronics, especially those that help with health care, have become popular over the past few years. But figuring out how to power these devices has been a big challenge. Regular batteries ...
