The paper, "Compressing Slippery Surface-Assembled Amphiphiles for Tunable Haptic Energy Harvesters," was published Sept. 15 in the journal Science Advances. At issue are molecules called ...

As a result of their dual nature, amphiphiles can “sit” at interfaces so that the polar/non-polar moieties can remain solvated in their preferential environment. This can be visualised by considering ...

Another significant area of research involves sugar-based amphiphiles, which are known for their ability to form diverse molecular assemblies in aqueous environments. Studies have shown that these ...
