MIT engineers have developed an innovative electrode design that convert carbon dioxide into useful products, such as fuels ...

Accurate regulation of surface hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity is crucial for various industrial applications, but current methods often lack stability, precision, and scalability. A team of ...

Unfortunately, it's a tradeoff. Improving the conductivity reduces the hydrophobicity, and vice versa. Varanasi and his team set out to see if they could find a way around that conflict, and after ...

"By adding hydrophobic pendant groups to the PIM polymer backbone, such as oxadiazole and benzene rings, we are able to tune ...

A new research from engineers at MIT has the potential to significantly enhance various electrochemical systems that are ...

MIT engineers have improved methods to convert CO2 into valuable products, potentially impacting climate change efforts.

The research team produced a modified cellulosic aerogel with improved hydrophobicity and flame resistance, which is a good ...

This treatment involved heating the forest residue biomass at controlled temperatures, which increased its hydrophobicity and ...

Inagaki explained: "Nitrobenzyl groups have high hydrophobicity; therefore, when the nitrobenzyl group is introduced into the RNA molecule, the mRNA becomes more hydrophobic. As impure RNA lacks ...

IsdA and wall teichoic acid alter surface hydrophobicity for AFAs defense. Esterification of AFAs to reduce toxicity is mediated by fatty acid-modifying enzyme and this activity is widespread ...
