Biological tissues exhibit two contradictory properties: they have a robust architecture that is required for their maintenance and resistance to stress, and they can be extensively remodelled during ...

On Saturday, March 21st, ACS President Rigoberto Hernandez and the ACS Office of Science Outreach hosted a free public event at Morehouse College from 11:00 a.m.– 2:00 p.m. (ET). Participants ...

The surface tension of a liquid is a measure of the cohesive forces that hold the molecules together. It is responsible for a water drop assuming a spherical shape and for the effects of surfactants ...

Researchers have developed a surface processing technology which can substantially suppress the adhesion of a variety of viscous liquids and ice. At present, most liquid (water and oil) repellent ...

How sister chromatids are protected from being prematurely segregated at the first meiotic division in mammals has remained elusive. New research by Yoshinori Watanabe and colleagues shows that, in ...

Surface engineering is central to improving the reliability and service life of mechanical systems exposed to demanding operating conditions. By modifying ...

Abstract: Jet impingement, enhanced by evaporation and boiling from a porous wick structure, has potential for dissipating high heat fluxes. This study investigates the enhancement of twophase jet ...
