Silica beads have been designed to stick to ice and water and not attract oil-based pollutants. Ice911 thinks they could restore ice reflectivity and help lower temperatures by 1.5 degrees if they ...

Instead, they found dozens of glass beads inside of fossilized clams, most of them inside fossils of Mercenaria campechiensis, also known as southern quahogs. These particles were very small ...

A PREVIOUS study1 has indicated that a soda-lime-silica glass may be attacked by liquid water to form a porous layer on the surface. The present investigation was to show the effect of atmospheric ...

Microscopic glass beads coated with lipid membranes provide a sensitive detector of interactions between proteins and ligands. ... Baksh et al. 1 saw that silica beads, ...

A team of US-Austrian researchers has developed a new technique that could make quantum mechanics easier to study thanks to a floating silica bead. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share ...

No one expected these glittering bits among the gray lunar dust back then. The beads, smaller than grains of sand, formed when ancient lunar volcanoes spewed molten rock. That rock quickly cooled and ...
