“This hydrophilic-hydrophobic feature of the aero-GaN allows it to skim over the surface like a flying water lily beetle, which is tethered to the water by four hydrophilic claws, the rest of its body ...

Hydrophobic – “water-hating,” repels water; Superhydrophobic – extremely water repellent; Hydrophilic – “water-loving,” water clings to it; Texture – the feel of a surface; Pathogen – a microorganism ...

The hydrophobic effect — the tendency for oil and water to segregate — is important in diverse phenomena, from the cleaning of laundry, to the creation of micro-emulsions to make new materials ...

Water-miscible ethylene glycol ethers are found to modify structure, dynamics, and reactivity of DNA by mechanisms possibly related to a biologically relevant hydrophobic catalysis.
