Reverse micelles are dynamic self‐assembled aggregates formed when surfactants are introduced into non‐polar solvents. In these systems, the hydrophilic headgroups congregate to form an internal ...

Material engineering involves the creation and design of inventive materials, blending principles from chemistry, physics, and engineering. Mass spectrometry emerges as a vital tool in material ...

Engineering material surface properties can influence some of the most important characteristics of materials, such as corrosion resistance, adhesion, color, conductivity, biocompatibility, and many ...

An evaporating colloidal particle–laden droplet leaves behind a ring-like residue after drying. We routinely observe this ubiquitous phenomenon for dried coffee drops; thus, it is known as the "coffee ...

Surface properties dictate a vast array of material characteristics that are crucial to performance, durability, and intended functionality across diverse industries. Properties such as friction, wear ...

A new technical titled “The effects of sub-monolayer laser etching on the chemical and electrical properties of the (100) diamond surface” was published by researchers at Macquarie University and MIT.
