This study analyzes the effect of different drying methods on the surface properties of cellulose nanofibril (CNF) films obtained from bleached eucalyptus Kraft pulp. The surface quality of CNF films ...

Thin films are two-dimensional (2D) material layers deposited on a bulk substrate, possessing a thickness of a few nanometers to impart properties that cannot be realized by base materials. The unique ...

Thin films might not come up in conversation every day, but they are all around us. Take the metallic plastic films of chip bags, for example, or the anti-reflective coatings on eyeglasses. Even the ...

Urbanizing global populations spend over 90% of their time indoors where microbiome abundance and diversity are low. Chronic exposure to microbiomes with low abundance and diversity have demonstrated ...

Most machines that grow atom-thin films top out around 2,000 Kelvin. That temperature ceiling locks researchers out of an entire class of ultra-refractory compounds, the very materials that physicists ...
