Emulsions that mix immiscible liquids are central to products from food to cosmetics. For instance, emulsions like mayonnaise mix liquids that don’t normally blend. They require added molecules called ...

Janus nanoparticles, characterised by their dual-faced surface chemistry, have garnered significant attention for their unique ability to mediate interfacial phenomena. Their asymmetry allows them to ...

Nanoemulsions enable the fabrication of uniform polymeric nanoparticles for various applications, including drug delivery, nanomaterials synthesis, cosmetics, and food manufacturing; however, existing ...

(Nanowerk News) In the process of oil extraction, hard mineral buildup inside the pipes and equipment can cause serious operational damage, safety issues such as pipe explosion and significant ...

An emulsion is a two-phase system formed by droplets dispersed in another non-miscible liquid. Many emulsions consist of a hydrophobic ‘oily’ phase dispersed in a continuous aqueous phase.

A British team reports a double inversion of a nanoparticle-containing emulsion: By the successive addition of a surfactant, they were able to convert an oil-in-water emulsion into a water-in-oil ...

A new two-dimensional film, made of polymers and nanoparticles and developed by researchers at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), can direct two different ...

Across the U.S., hundreds of sites on land or in lakes and rivers are heavily contaminated with hazardous waste produced by ...
