Each Monday during 17 News at Noon, on Elaina’s Experiments, Kern County STEM educators and enthusiasts share ideas for ...

Researchers at Rice University have developed a new method for performing chemical reactions using water instead of toxic ...

Once grafted onto the MOF films, these chains form a disordered "coil" structure, known as a "high-entropy state," which is key to the material's hydrophobic properties. The scientists noted that ...

This was achieved by using hydrophobic melanin particles which provide structural color and water-repellence. The discovery marks a breakthrough in advanced materials for paints and coatings.

Further insight into fibril formation has now been gained that reveals the effect of hydrophobic surfaces, including air. Previous work had investigated amyloid formation in the presence of ...
