Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) researchers have discovered a fast, simple, and cheap way to make ...

The behavior of water at hydrophobic interfaces has perplexed scientists for over a century, spanning chemistry, biology, ...

We chose a model system in which oil droplets are dispersed in water (a mixture known as an emulsion, which is widely present in nature) and studied it using Raman spectroscopy. This technique ...

Pickering emulsions lower interfacial energy by covering the interface of water and oil with solid nanoparticles (NPs) instead of using molecular surfactants. The team developed a new platform by ...

Abstract Freestanding networked nanoparticle (NP) films hold substantial potential due to their high surface areas and customizable porosities ...

Overlay PCR reaction with 15 μl of mineral oil to prevent evaporation during ... The amount of DNA used in the emulsion PCR can vary over a relatively wide range. Optimally, 20 ± 15% of the ...

A groundbreaking study titled "Water Structure and Electric Fields at Oil Droplet Interfaces" was published in Nature by a collaborative team led by ...

Emulsions are formed when tiny droplets of one liquid are suspended within another liquid. A mixture of oil and water is a good example of an emulsion. It is not uncommon for foods that we eat to ...

However, its application has been limited by low water solubility. To overcome this, we decided to explore oil-based Pickering emulsions." In this study, the researchers developed a sustainable ...

To recycle batteries they are firstly shredded to produce a mixed black mass. The new process uses an oil nanoemulsion to float the graphite from the mixture. University of Leicester scientists ...

To bring you this year's best new beauty products, our team of editors from around the world tried and tested hundreds of the ...
