Research Reveals New Method to Improve or Reduce Adhesion of Freezing Droplets

Freezing droplets impact a surface by either normally sticking to it or bouncing away. Controlling this reaction is vital to many applications, including 3D printing, the spraying of certain surface coatings, and the prevention of ice formation on structures such as wind turbines, airplane wings, or power lines.

Gold(+II) Encapsulated in Porphyrin Found to be Highly Stable

Theoretically, the gold atom’s normal oxidation states in compounds are +I and +III. In contrast, the divalent form (+II) largely forms polynuclear compounds or just gets modified into the monovalent and trivalent forms. Yet, the neighboring elements of gold in the periodic table are entirely distinct with respect to this matter.
