A nanoscale view of bubble formation: Using computer simulation, a research team succeeded in modeling the behavior of molecules at the liquid -- gas interface at the nanometer scale, enabling them to ...

(Nanowerk News) When a liquid boils in a vessel, tiny vapor bubbles form at the bottom and rise, transferring heat in the process. How these small bubbles grow and eventually detach was previously not ...

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology published a new high-pressure liquid seal method in Microsystems & Nanoengineering on ...

A new study finds the wettability of porous electrode surfaces is key to making efficient water-splitting or carbon-capturing systems. Using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen can be ...
