However, it decreases drastically or even becomes repulsive on hydrophilic substrates underwater.
They do so by showing that the previous universe could not have compacted itself into a singularity, as general relativity predicts, because at extremes of temperature and pressure, gravity becomes repulsive instead of attractive.
The background color is the magnitude of ∇E 2. The dielectrophoretic force is attractive in all regions in the absence of deposited nanotubes (A, C), while the force becomes repulsive between the electrodes, once a nanotube (magenta line) has been deposited (B, D).

Besieged with anxiety, the thought of leisurely taking in a baseball game becomes repulsive to me.
It was found that, the attractive forces between foulants and membrane surface would rather weaker or even become repulsive with increase in size of asperities and surface hydrophilicity, well explaining the phenomenon regarding the super anti-adhesion ability of lotus leaf.
With a magazine like Tatler, you have to try so incredibly hard to be nailing the zeitgeist, because if you are tone-deaf, or if you lose your musical ear for what's acceptable – not only socially but in terms of broader British society – you become repulsive.
In the absence of nanotubes, the dielectrophoretic forces are attractive in all regions, while the forces become repulsive between electrodes when a nanotube bridges the electrodes.
However, if the point charge is replaced with a rodlike line of charges that moves sideways like a knife spreading peanut butter then the force from the surface can become repulsive, Rebernik Ribič argues.
As a consequence, the CG interaction potential for clay PVA is more negative at shorter distances and does not become repulsive until significantly shorter distances.
In the case of helium repulsive forces dominate and so it becomes less soluble as a function of CO2 density.
