University of Pennsylvania researchers accidentally stumbled onto a novel material that can pull water from the air without ...

When a drop of water lands on the Janus bilayer, the liquid hydrates the the polyester, shrinking it. That rapid shrinking causes the entire material to roll in on itself and curl up tight.

A serendipitous observation in a Chemical Engineering lab at Penn Engineering has led to a surprising discovery: a new class of nanostructured materials that can pull water from the air, collect ...

Water droplet spun by sound screens for colon cancer Date: March 13, 2024 Source: Duke University Summary: Mechanical engineers have devised a diagnostic platform that uses sound waves to spin an ...

This blue-glowing water is being spun around by nothing but sound waves. Reaching speeds up to 6,000 RPM, this centrifuge forms the basis for a new type of inexpensive, point-of-care biomedical test.
