Emulsions of oil-based pesticides are widely used in agriculture, although they are a major environmental and health hazard because they bounce off plant surfaces due to their hydrophobic nature, resulting in the pollution ...
New research published in Nature Physics details the relationship between a disordered material's individual particle arrangement and how it reacts to external stressors. The study also found that these materials have "memory" ...
