Researchers have discovered that how water binds to nanoparticles can determine whether a nanomedicine works or fails. A key finding.

Researchers at Arizona State University have uncovered a key scientific principle that governs how what's coated on the surfaces of engineered nanoparticles may ultimately control how they work in our ...

The anomalous properties of confined water are mainly attributed to surface interactions; however, their significant scale-dependence is shown to be predominantly governed by spatial confinement. A ...

Water droplets have a unique ability: They can leap from a surface on their own. This can happen for a variety of reasons, ...

Being quite small, insects can have a very different relationship with the water-air interface than larger animals do. Surface tension allows for insects like water striders to skate along the top of ...

Water is usually treated as a background player in physics, chemistry, and climate science, but a growing body of research suggests it can behave in surprisingly energetic ways under the right ...
