Oil spills are an especially challenging chemical contamination event to remediate.
Predicting the fate and effects of spilled oil is a formidable task, complicated by its complex …

The toxicity of oils can be understood using the concept of toxic potential, or the toxicity of
each individual component of the oil at the water solubility of that component. Using the …

Despite the ubiquity and utility of micelles self-assembled from aqueous surfactants,
longstanding questions remain regarding their surface structure and interior hydration. Here …
