Physicists finally figured out why despite being a nonstick pan, food still gets stuck on them. Their findings could help refine some industrial processes.
Scientists looked at the skin-deep sidewinder snakes to understand how these snakes could navigate sandy surfaces, like the deserts in Africa, the Middle East, and North America.
Most naturally-formed diamonds are from the Earth's mantle, generally understood to be formed as carbon is exposed to extreme temperature and pressure. A new study looks at the effects of a new parameter - electric fields - in the formation of these precious minerals.
A new material, classified as a perovskite, can reportedly convert sunlight to electricity as a potentially cheaper and more scalable alternative to today’s silicon-based solar cells.
Butterflies create a pocket with their wings that added a thrust to take off. Scientists believe that understanding this can help in improving the design of flapping drones.
Astronomers from the University of Montreal (UdeM) discovered that the core mass for exoplanet WASP-107b is a lot lower than previously thought necessary to form giant gas planets such as Saturn and Jupiter.
Cell velocity has long been speculated to be affected by the adhesive potential of the surface underneath it, although the exact mechanisms remain unknown. Now, a new study has answered this decades-long question.
Chaotic systems are systems that are sensitively dependent on initial conditions and, while appearing predictable at first, grows increasingly more random - and researchers have observed one such system using ultrafast cameras.
A team from the University of Illinois Chicago worked to develop a "Swiss Army Knife" catalyst - made up of ten different elements aside from Oxygen that helps natural gas burn cleaner.
As a key technology in achieving the next generation of communications and computing technologies, quantum entanglement has been a topic of interest in the scientific community - with the latest efforts detailing how to achieve it through the application of heat.
