Scientists at the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden say they have disproved the prevailing theory of how DNA binds itself. It is not, they claim, as is generally believed, hydrogen bonds ...

At the nanoscale, the chemistry of surfaces plays a decisive role in how particles move and where they end up. A new study published in Advancing Earth and Space Sciences highlights the importance of ...

Hydrophobic interactions describe the natural tendency of non-polar molecules to avoid contact with water, a phenomenon fundamental to processes from protein folding to synthetic material design.

Scientists reveal how hydrophobic surfaces trap nanoplastics in porous media, highlighting overlooked forces that shape their mobility and impact on subsurface ...
