Researchers successfully mapped the condensation of individual atoms in microscopic measuring beakers, known as quantum wells. This breakthrough provides key conclusions on the nature of atomic bonding and enables the study of other atoms and their interactions.
The new findings demonstrate that the process can generate small amounts of electricity, comparable to other ambient energy harvesting systems. The device could be simple and powered by humidity in the air, producing clean water as a side benefit.
A study by PNNL researchers found that highly insulating windows reduce energy consumption by 12.2% in a home setting. However, the high upfront cost takes anywhere from 23 to 55 years to pay off, making comfort and other benefits more immediate.
Researchers found that condensation on canned beverages can increase the drink's temperature by six degrees Fahrenheit in just five minutes. This is more than twice as much as it would warm in dry heat conditions, highlighting the importance of keeping condensation from forming on the outside of cans.
Research reveals faster water condensation on less viscous aerosol particles, affecting cloud albedo and lifetime. The study's findings provide insight into the climate's 'known unknowns', highlighting the importance of understanding condensation rates.
Harvard University researchers invent a way to keep metal surfaces free of ice and frost using ultra slippery anti-ice and anti-frost surfaces. The technology, called SLIPS, prevents ice sheets from developing on surfaces and allows for easy removal of ice with tilting or slight agitation.
Researchers have found that electric charge ratio and polymer concentrations control complex properties, allowing stable delivery of DNA into targeted cell nuclei. Future work focuses on forming complexes with controlled size and electric charge for efficient gene therapy.
Researchers at CIN2 have developed a way to make artificial materials that control water condensation, leading to the formation of 'room-temperature ice' at ambient conditions. This breakthrough has significant implications for snowmaking, improved freezer systems, and new coatings for skating rinks.
Scientists have discovered that aerosols can increase rainfall by providing condensation nuclei for cloud droplets. Moderate quantities of aerosols lead to more rain as they control the distribution of energy in the atmosphere and influence the formation of clouds.
Large brown seaweeds release inorganic iodine when stressed, contributing to cloud formation and altering coastal climate. This process may lead to 'thicker' clouds with reduced rainfall and a moodier coastal skyline.
Chromosome condensation, essential for successful cell division, begins early but continues late, acting as a safety net against separation defects. The EMBL researchers discovered that an enzyme called Aurora kinase is crucially involved in this process.
Scientists have discovered two key proteins, XCAP-E and XCAP-D2, that remain apart at a critical time before condensation occurs in frog oocytes. These findings may help study chromosome physiology, particularly the functional aspects of these proteins.
Researchers found that reducing salt concentrations shrinks DNA toroids by shrinking both diameter and thickness. This discovery could improve gene delivery efficiency in gene therapy and DNA-based vaccines.
