Water is all around us, yet its surface layer—home to chemical reactions that shape life on Earth—is surprisingly hard to study. Experiments at SLAC's X-ray laser are bringing it into focus.

Ultimate composite strength is highly dependent on interfacial interactions between the filler material and matrix. Nanomaterials are getting continued interest as reinforcement materials in composite ...

Researchers have uncovered a dynamic mechanism that governs how liquid escapes from foams, overturning long-standing assumptions in soft-matter physics.
