Wrinkles or dents appearing on material surfaces are often regarded as signs of damage or deformation. In a recent ...
The latent heat transfer during vapour condensation in the condenser section of passive heat transport devices such as the two-phase closed thermosiphon is limited by film condensation. Dropwise ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Bacterial pathogens can live on surfaces for days. What if frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs could instantly kill them off? Purdue University engineers have created ...
The global demand for renewable energy is steadily increasing due to the environmental pollution and resource depletion caused by the extensive use of fossil fuels. Solar energy, accounting for the ...
Bacterial pathogens can live on surfaces for days. What if frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs could instantly kill them off? Purdue University engineers have created a laser treatment ...
German scientists have investigated the role of surface texturing in perovskite-silicon tandem cells and have found that several new processes offer the ability to etch smaller, more uniform textures ...
Implant stability is critical in obtaining good long-term success of total joint replacements. Loss of either biological or cement fixation can lead to accelerated wear, pain, loss of function, or ...
Inspired by the naturally antimicrobial textures of cicada wings and shark skin, micro- and nanoscale textures at the scale of bacterial cells make it difficult for bacteria to attach. They also ...
Keeping work surfaces clean during meat processing is a challenge, and now researchers deliver key insights into a solution that could change the current practice altogether: Instead of working to ...
