Have you ever wondered how mussels instantly glue themselves to rocks, allowing them to survive the crushing force of ocean ...

Abstract: Jet impingement, enhanced by evaporation and boiling from a porous wick structure, has potential for dissipating high heat fluxes. This study investigates the enhancement of twophase jet ...

Developed under U.S. Department of Energy’s ARPA-E COOLERCHIPS program, HRL’s revolutionary approach increases processor cooling capability by 40% or reduces pumping power by >10X. The approach ...

Understanding liquid states of water at very low temperatures is important for earth sciences and biology but is difficult because supercooled liquid water is very unstable. A new computational study ...

Researchers used cloud point measurements to construct a phase diagram. The solid lines represent the droplet density, while the dashed lines represent the solution density. Crystallization is a ...

Liquid–liquid phase separation is a process in which a uniform solution separates into two coexisting liquid phases. In living cells, it governs the formation of membrane-less compartments that ...

High school science misses a lot of the science researchers actually work with. For example, you learn that there are three states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—but in advanced physics, things get ...

Inside cells, RNAs and proteins form tiny, liquid-like droplets called biomolecular condensates. These droplets are essential for organizing cellular life, yet why some RNAs cluster more readily than ...
