The study of colloidal interactions at fluid interfaces reveals how particles adsorbed to the boundary between two fluids engage in a rich interplay of forces. Capillary interactions arise when ...

Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules that migrate to the boundary between immiscible fluids, where they reduce interfacial tension and confer stability to dispersions such as emulsions and foams. The ...

Researchers have developed a method for making simultaneous soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements of solid-liquid interfaces and bulk liquids. By controlling the thickness of the ...

Professor Pattie Maes deep insights working with her research team of Joanne Leong, Pat Pataranutaporn, Valdemar Danry are world leading in their translational research on tech-human interaction.

Plants are the oldest sensors in the world. Could they be the future of computers? "They're billion-year evolutionary machines," says an MIT researcher who is developing ways to turn houseplants into ...
