Among other things, hydrophobic (water-repelling) surfaces can be used to keep medical devices germ-free, to help airplane wings shed ice, and to keep solar panels clean. A new process could soon make those surfaces much more durable, allowing them to … Continue reading Water-repellent “armor” stands up to cuts and abrasions
For many cavity-prone people, tooth-brushing often just isn’t enough. It was with such folks in mind that a new mouthwash-based system was recently developed, which reportedly uses light to kill problematic bacteria.Continue ReadingCategory: Health &am… Continue reading Light-activated mouthwash kills cavity-causing bacteria
Although so-called superglues can be quite useful, they’re typically made from harsh chemicals, plus it’s very difficult to “unstick” them once they’ve set. Now, however, scientists have created a plant-based superglue that can easily be removed when n… Continue reading Eco-friendly “releasable” superglue is made from plants
Some cosmologists have predicted the existence of “walls bounded by strings” in the aftermath of the Big Bang, and now a team of physicists have created these quantum structures on Earth for the first time. Continue reading Physicists Created Quantum Structures That May Have Birthed Dark Matter
