Researchers at Arizona State University have uncovered a key scientific principle that governs how what's coated on the surfaces of engineered nanoparticles may ultimately control how they work in our ...

The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun, and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are governed by the same laws of physics and give rise to a complex phenomenon known ...

Ice friction arises from the interplay of mechanical, thermal and hydrodynamic processes at the interface between a sliding object and the ice lattice. Under typical conditions, frictional heat ...

Secondary particle tracks recorded during a proton collision inside the ATLAS detector, indicating the presence of a single Higgs boson in the event. Since the launch of the Large Hadron Collider, ...

A research team at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, has initiated a series of plume-surface interaction tests inside a massive 60-foot spherical vacuum chamber. This data will aid ...

Topological surface states are found to mediate a strong, non‑oscillatory interaction that aligns magnetic moments and enhances ferromagnetic order Spintronics ...

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 ...
