The dual hydrophobic–hydrophilic behaviour of the new material. Researchers have made the first ever highly porous, mechanically flexible and stretchable inorganic nanomaterial that is both ...

Researchers have discovered a new aspect to the way that DNA binds itself, and the role played by hydrophobic effects. They show how small changes in water properties can delicately control the ...

Primary-effluent wastewater from the Allegheny County Sanitary Authority (Pennsylvania) was used as a surrogate for combined-sewer-overflow waters contained in the sewershed. Pathogens contained in ...

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 ...

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 ...

Hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) is a powerful technique used for the purification of proteins in analytical and preparatory applications. HIC separates and purifies protein molecules on ...

Users of hydrophilic, but not hydrophobic, statins, had a lower risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer, a large retrospective study found. CHICAGO – Use of hydrophilic statins, but not ...
