In a groundbreaking study conducted by scientists at the University of Akron and the University of Pittsburgh, long-held assumptions about water’s role in adhesion have been overturned. Led by Dr. Ali Dhinojwala, the research team made a significant breakthrough by demonstrating that water can unexpectedly enhance adhesion under controlled conditions. This discovery, published in Science

The quest for a clean and virtually unlimited energy source has led researchers to delve into the world of nuclear fusion. This process, akin to what powers the sun, holds the key to a sustainable energy future for humanity. However, mirroring the extreme conditions found in the sun on Earth poses a monumental challenge. Scientists
Astrophysical research projects in the upcoming decade are set to embark on large-scale cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. These experiments aim to detect and study CMB radiation, which originates from the early universe. A recent study by researchers at Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium has highlighted the potential of upcoming CMB observations with satellites
For decades, physicists have been puzzled by the fundamental question of why the universe is filled with matter while containing so little antimatter. According to the standard model of particle physics, after the Big Bang occurred over 13 billion years ago, matter and antimatter were continuously generated in equal amounts and subsequently annihilated upon collision,
The detection of gravitational waves has opened up a new realm of possibilities in the field of astrophysics. When black holes collide, the resulting ripples in space-time provide crucial insights into the structure of our universe. The observation of these waves, first predicted by Einstein a century ago, marks a significant milestone in our quest
