We study the flow physics underlying the recently developed remote sensing capability of detecting oceanic microplastics, which is based on the measurable surface roughness reduction induced by the ...

A generalizable technique has been developed to create diverse functional inorganic membranes on the surface of various aqueous solutions. The technique ensures that the air–liquid interface receives ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: While science has a solid grasp on calculating drag and resistance on microscopic spherical objects, particles like dust, microplastics, and viruses ...

Clouds form when water vapor—an invisible gas in the atmosphere—sticks to tiny floating particles, such as dust, and turns into liquid water droplets or ice crystals. In a newly published study, we ...
