To overcome a world-wide water shortage problem, numerous desalination methods have been developed with state-of-the-art power efficiency. Here we propose a spontaneous desalting mechanism referred to ...

Scientists have challenged traditional concepts of micro and macro worlds and demonstrated how ideal gas unexpectedly exhibits capillarity properties. A Mathematician from the University of Leicester, ...

Capillarity in nanoporous media arises from the interplay of surface forces, pore geometry and fluid properties at the nanoscale. Confinement within pores of a few nanometres leads to enhanced surface ...

Dipping a tube into a container filled with water will make the water rise in the tube. This phenomenon is called liquid capillarity. It is responsible for many natural and technical processes, for ...

The course provides detailed knowledge of how capillarity affects hydrocarbon distribution in a reservoir rock, and how the magnitude of capillary forces can be used to deduce valuable information ...

The 12 th International Conference on High Temperature Capillarity – HTC 2026 takes place from 4-7 May 2026 in Forsbach near Cologne. The conference will be hosted by the Institute for Frontier ...
