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.

Explore the fascinating world of resin art by creating a stunning, frozen-in-time water drop splash. This DIY project is perfect for beginners and seasoned artists alike, offering an exciting way to ...

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 acts like an insulator, dampening this effect — a process known as the “Ross droplet” technique. “It was first proposed by some enthusiast on a home barista forum,” Hendon said.

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 ...

Water contamination by the chemicals used in today’s technology is a rapidly growing problem globally. A recent study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control found that 98 percent of people tested had ...

Some water-resistant fabrics, including those used in umbrellas, contain persistent “forever chemicals,” or PFAS. A new review article outlines principles to design PFAS alternatives without ...

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.

They aren’t trying to change the drying properties of a water droplet, however. "Drying still takes place at the three phase boundary”, he explains. “Instead our strategy consists of locking the ...
