The behavior of water at hydrophobic interfaces has perplexed scientists for over a century, spanning chemistry, biology, ...

Following the assumption that the distributed oil across the water surface would form a monolayer, i.e. a layer of oil one molecule thick, he divided the volume of the oil by the covered area ...

Create a colorful tower of liquids that stack on top of each other based on their densities. This experiment demonstrates how different liquids have different densities and why some liquids float ...

Migration and trapping: The oil and gas migrate through porous rock layers and get trapped beneath non-porous rock, forming reservoirs. Contrary to popular belief, the study of biomarkers ...

Brazil’s state-run oil giant Petrobras has confirmed the discovery of a new layer of oil below the main reservoir of the Búzios field, in the pre-salt Santos basin. The volume was identified ...
