A team of UCLA engineers and researchers has developed a new technique to make it feel up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit cooler ...

In the late 2010s, when Assistant Professor Flavio Lehner worked for the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, ...

Inspired by natural creatures, superhydrophobic surfaces with various adhesion behaviors have attracted significant scientific interest. In this study, by controlling the laser fluence, the scanning ...

Researchers have simulated 160 cases of PV rooftop installation in southern and northern Italy. Among changing parameters ...

The influence of topography on land-surface bidirectional reflectance and albedo should be considered in rugged terrain. However, land-surface albedo algorithms neglect topographic effects, leading to ...

Ocean waters typically have a low albedo due to their dark colour. Image: Shutterstock Some surfaces, like water, can have varying albedo values. Normally, the surface of the ocean is dark, meaning ...

Abstract Low surface energy materials resist adhesion due to their chemical inertness and non-wetting properties. Herein, we report the creation of a transparent ionogel adhesive that uses ion–dipole ...
