Proton transfer between titania surface and dye observed for photocatalysis evaluation
A temporal change in the titania surface chemical state during the UV light irradiation is not observable through conventional methods ...
Dynamical scaling of entanglement entropy and surface roughness in random quantum systems
In physics, “universality” refers to properties of systems that are independent of their details. Establishing the universality of quantum dynamics ...
Surface chemistry reveals corrosive secrets
One can easily see with the naked eye that leaving an old nail out in the rain causes rust. What ...
A computationally quick approach to predict molten droplet solidification on a solid surface
Gas turbine engines in planes provide the required thrust by sucking in air, heating it to very high temperatures in ...
Highly porous rocks responsible for Bennu’s surprisingly craggy surface
Scientists thought asteroid Bennu's surface would be like a sandy beach, abundant in fine sand and pebbles, which would have ...
Mars’ surface shaped by fast and furious floods from overflowing craters
On Earth, river erosion is usually a slow-going process. But on Mars, massive floods from overflowing crater lakes had an outsized role in shaping the Martian surface, carving deep chasms ...
Spring 2020 arctic “ozone hole” likely caused by record-high north pacific sea surface temperatures
Unlike the Antarctic ozone hole that develops annually during austral spring (September, October, and November), Arctic ozone levels usually stay ...
World’s first discovery of liquid directional steering on a bio-inspired surface
Inspired by a kind of tree leaf, scientists at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) discovered that the spreading direction ...
Scientists construct new sea surface salinity indexes to distinguish two types of El Niño independently
As the strongest interannual variability in the tropics, El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) can affect the global climate. To date, two ...
