For small numbers of fluid particles (i.e. in the low thousands or less) the domain decomposition may have worse performance due to the task-based parallelism and the additional overhead of domain ...

Rendition of the discovery where the excitons (e-h pairs) interact via ripples in the magnetic structure akin to an array of spinning tops generating a wave that affects each other and couples the ...

ETH Zurich Materials Scientists are the first to measure the microscopic forces involved when particles in suspensions such as concrete or paint roll past each other. Previously, such measurements ...

The Supporting Information is available free of charge at https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.langmuir.4c05153. Fitting parameters of standard curves, the pore size ...

The OFP, funded by the National Science Foundation, regularly collects particles at the depths of 500m, 1,500m and 3,200m while also measuring water temperatures, currents, salinity and level of ...

That's because plants absorb microplastics in water and soil through their roots, and the majority of these particles become concentrated in this part of the plant with only a tiny amount ...

According to one 2024 study, plastic cookware may contribute thousands of microplastic particles each year to homemade food. Old plastic kitchenware was the worst culprit, and the researchers also ...

By incorporating microfiber discharge electrodes and nonmetallic carbon plates, the system operates on low current yet removes more than 90% of ultrafine particles. Additionally, it resolves the ozone ...

New research shows that chewing gum can release hundreds or possibly thousands of microplastics into saliva, which may then be absorbed into the body. Even all-natural gum sheds microplastics when ...

They then measured the amount of microplastics in the samples, either by staining the particles red and counting them with a microscope, or via a technique called Fourier-transform infrared ...
