Nanoscience is a booming field incorporating some of the most fundamental questions
concerning structure, function, and applications. The cutting-edge research in nanoscience …

The functions of soils are intimately linked to their three‐dimensional pore space and the
associated biogeochemical interfaces, mirrored in the complex structure that developed …

Mounting evidence of recent spectromicroscopic insights have revealed that the distribution
of mineral‐associated organic matter (OM) at the microscale and nanoscale is organized …

Microfluidic models are proving to be powerful systems to study fundamental processes in
porous media, due to their ability to replicate topologically complex environments while …

Imogolite, a nanotubular aluminosilicate mineral, is commonly found in volcanic soils, where
it exerts a control on carbon dynamics. Synthetic imogolites are used for the removal of …

The spike in carbon dioxide (CO 2) observed after rewetting of dry soils, known as the 'Birch
effect', can contribute substantially to total soil carbon (C) emissions, however, the exact …

This work addresses two continuing fallacies in the interpretation of percolation
characteristics of porous solids. The first is that the first derivative (slope) of the intrusion …

Road failures are often caused by structural weaknesses, and particularly unsealed roads
are vulnerable to water as water easily flows into road structures. Moisture susceptibility of …

Water repellency (hydrophobicity) of granular materials such as soil is usually assessed on
bulk samples or arrays of grains, with their wettability being influenced by the often-variable …

The booming global market of nanomaterials in the last few decades has led to the
inevitable emission of these materials into aquatic environments; hence, understanding their …
