Researchers have simulated water and silica at low temperature. Despite structural similarities, the two liquids act differently when they are cooled: water freezes into ice, while silica continues to ...

Silica supplements may improve skin texture by enhancing collagen production and maintaining effective hydration levels.

Water is transported by oceanic plates into the Earth's deep interior and changes the properties of minerals and rocks, affecting the Earth's internal material cycle and environmental evolution since ...

Better known as glass, silica is a versatile material used in myriad industrial processes, from catalysis and filtration, to chromatography and nanofabrication. Yet despite its ubiquity in labs and ...

CHELMSFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new trace-level silica analyzer for real-time monitoring of ultrapure water, steam and water chemistry can more accurately protect expensive components, including ...

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Higher levels of aluminum in drinking water appear to increase people's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, whereas higher levels of silica appear to decrease the risk, ...

Everyone knows that water freezes at 0 degrees C. Life on Earth would be vastly different if this were not so. However, water's cousin, silica, exhibits wayward behavior when cooled that has long ...
