Oil?nanoporous materials interplay is ubiquitous in oil recovery from unconventional reservoirs, environmental clean-up, and membrane technology, so there is a genuine need for novel approaches that can monitor, manipulate, ...

The evaporation of water droplets on surfaces is an ubiquitous phenomenon in nature and has critical importance in a broad range of technical applications. Here we show a substantial enhancement of liquid evaporation rate ...

The growing use of droplets in a broad range of technologies demands strategies to reduce the evaporation rate, in order to extend the droplets’ lifetime, especially in bioapplications that require operations at physiological ...

Latin America is a vibrant and ethnically diverse land, with a unique culture characterized by ingenuity and creativity. This multi-journal Virtual Issue, guest-edited by Profs. Germán E. Gomez and Galo J. A. A. Soler-Illia, ...

We calculate the sputtering induced on a nanoporous material by fast penetrating ions, such as those used for track formation and surface modification, in order to better understand and quantify the ejection and redeposition ...

Beta titanium alloys with a low elastic modulus, such as Ti10Mo8Nb alloy, are suitable to relieve the stress shielding effect that occurs in the interface implant/bone. However, these materials are considered bioinert and ...

In this work, an exhaustive study of the calculation of micropore and mesopore volumes with αs-plot method as proposed by Professor Sing is carried out. The method is critically compared with other similar methods such as ...
