Materials that encourage mineralization, mimicking the process in the human body, are becoming increasingly important in medicine and technology. This process, which occurs at the interface between ...

Within materials science, the surface is often where the most important interactions occur. Whether the focus is corrosion, catalysis, adhesion, or biomaterials, the outermost atomic layers determine ...

A new technical titled “The effects of sub-monolayer laser etching on the chemical and electrical properties of the (100) diamond surface” was published by researchers at Macquarie University and MIT.

Colloid and surface chemistry encompasses the study of systems in which microscopic particles are dispersed in a continuous phase and the energetic, interfacial and molecular processes that govern ...

In the decade since their discovery at Drexel University, the family of two-dimensional materials called MXenes has shown a great deal of promise for applications ranging from water desalination and ...

A new study has revealed the clearest-ever picture of the surface chemistry of worm species that provides groundbreaking insights into how animals interact with their environment and each other. These ...

In a scanning tunneling microscope image, hundreds of glowing dots organize themselves in hexagons and wavy diagonal lines. The diagonal lines have somewhat regular spacing between each other. Credit: ...
