Scientists Investigate Water Power For Mobiles
News The surface of the solid receives a small charge, and this attracts opposite-charged ions in the liquid, while like-charged ions are repelled. Because the ions that are repelled by the surface move faster than the ions that are attracted to the...

Water Tolerance Vs. Waterproof: Tight-Buffer Tight-Bound Cable Construction
White Papers The greater the concentration of the water molecules, or more specifically the (OH- ions), at the glass surface, and the greater the stress applied to the glass, the more rapidly the surface imperfections will grow.
