The process of evaporation, one of the most widespread on our planet, takes place differently than we once thought -- this has been shown by new computer simulations. The discovery has far-reaching ...

Evaporation is so common that everybody thinks it's a well understood phenomenon. Appearances can be, however, deceptive. Recently, a new, earlier not predicted mechanism of evaporation was discovered ...

We all till now know that evaporation is typically thought of as a heat-driven process. However, the researchers, in recent years, have been puzzled upon discovering that water during the experiments ...

Evaporation is an endothermic process undertaken by all liquids. This physical state change occurs when surface molecules gain sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the enthalpy of vaporization. Such ...

A group of researchers from Duke University in the U.S. has developed a new coating process for the creation of hybrid thin film materials. The researchers say their process allows for the creation of ...
