Scientists used a 3D-printing approach to pattern hydrophobic barriers inside hydrophilic filter paper. These barriers, designed in different geometries, guide liquids along precise paths and shape ...

While unitized regenerative fuel cells (URFCs) are promising for renewable energy storage, their efficient operation requires ...

The state-of-the-art anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzers (AEMWEs) require highly stable electrodes for prolonged ...

The condition of the grass on a golf course can drastically skew the chances of a winning putt regardless of a player's skill. Now, a coating that soaks up water molecules could slow the roll of a ...

A cross-section illustration demonstrates the bonding mechanism common in hydrophilic coatings. Hydrophilic coatings exhibit water-loving characteristics. Chemically, this means they participate in ...

Ionic and ionizable compounds typically rely on separation by ion exchange chromatography (IC) or ion pairing reversed-phase chromatography (IP-RPLC). In traditional Reverse-phase Liquid ...

Condensation is critical for applications like power generation, water harvesting, and cooling systems. However, traditional surfaces suffer from a drop in performance under high subcooling, when the ...
