More than a century after the RMS Titanic slipped beneath the Atlantic, engineers still chase the dream of ships that refuse to sink. At the University of Rochester’s Institute of Optics, that goal ...

Brazilian scientists have made advances in an area recognized by the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry: the development and application of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). These are porous crystalline ...

Researchers have pioneered a new technique called X-ray linear dichroic orientation tomography, which probes the orientation of a material's building blocks at the nanoscale in three-dimensions. First ...

Her research focuses on developing sustainable, solvent-free routes to functional graphene materials and translating them into high-performance advanced polymer composite systems. Her research, ...

Unlike traditional databases or search engines that passively retrieve past results, AI-driven models actively learn from large datasets, simulate material behaviour, generate hypotheses and optimise ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Mushrooms have long been a staple in the culinary world, but their role in the sustainability movement is rapidly expanding. With global mushroom production reaching over 48 ...

Living materials take inspiration from the natural world, where plants, animals and microbes routinely manufacture functional materials as part of their normal physiology. For instance, trees produce ...

Excess nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus are among the leading causes of water pollution worldwide, fueling harmful algal blooms and degrading aquatic ecosystems. Now, researchers have ...

Researchers have developed a way to create complex devices with multiple materials -- including plastics, metals and semiconductors -- all with a single machine. The research outlines a novel 3D ...
