Mono-material flexible film packaging structures based primarily on polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or even polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are being promoted as an effective means of ...

Inspired by kirigami, a type of Japanese paper art, researchers have created a new material that transforms from a grid into ...

Fungi are master engineers capable of building vast networks underground. Now, researchers have harnessed their capabilities to create a living building material that could be a sustainable ...

Engineers developed a way to quickly test metamaterial architectures and their resilience to supersonic impacts. They plan to use it to identify new metamaterial designs that could form the basis for ...

Since their discovery at Drexel University in 2011, MXenes — a family of nanomaterials with unique properties of durability, conductivity and filtration, among many others — has become the largest ...

Mesoporous materials are a class of nanomaterials characterized by their highly ordered porous structure with pore sizes ranging from 2 to 50 nanometers. These materials possess large surface areas, ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

A new kind of 3D-printable material that can stretch, flex and still stay friendly to living cells could change how medical ...

Researchers at Google DeepMind and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory today announced in a stunning scientific breakthrough that they have developed a new AI system called GNoME that has discovered ...

Electric cars and laptop batteries could charge up much faster and last longer thanks to a new structure that can be used to make much better capacitors in the future. When you purchase through links ...
