Surfactants play a pivotal role in modifying the interfacial properties between polymers and liquids. By adsorbing at both the liquid–air and polymer–liquid interfaces, these molecules can reduce the ...
(Nanowerk News) The ratchet mechanism is a fascinating energy-conversion system that converts disorderly or random motion into orderly, directed movement through a process known as spontaneous ...
Griffith University researchers have shown that the shape and surface chemistry of microscopic "re-entrant" structures—tiny ...
Researchers develop method to guide how MDA-MB-231 cancer cells – an invasive breast cancer cell – stuck, spread, and ...
The proposed ratchet mechanism utilizes the asymmetry in surface wettability between the smooth and rough faces of the teeth of a geometrically symmetric gear to achieve ratcheting motion. The ratchet ...
