YSU Chemical Engineering student James Aldridge and Physics Professor James Andrews worked with their chemistry and biochemistry counterparts at Arizona State University to show how a superhydrophobic knife can create two cleanly separated drops of water – a discovery that could have potential applications in biomedical research.
The research was recently published in PLOS ONE, an international, peer-reviewed online journal, and has garnered worldwide attention, including articles in New Scientist, Real Clear Science and even the International Business Times in Mexico.
