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 ...
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, ...
A bizarre "Rule of Four" has been identified in the basic structure of the majority of inorganic materials—and scientists are stumped as to why. The pattern is found in the so-called "unit cell" of ...
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 ...
Researchers with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have created an innovative method to visualize and analyze atomic structures ...
iSurface, a project led by Munro Technology, Z Prime, Axalp Technologies AG and researchers from Swiss university of applied sciences FHNW (Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz), unveiled a new intelligent ...
The Clean Aviation HERWINGT project is developing a novel, ultra-high performance wing for a hybrid-electric regional aircraft, including thermoplastic composites (TPC) and morphing composite wing ...
Space stations break down. Satellites get damaged. Repairing them requires launching replacement components on rockets. The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is now exploring an ...
A new kind of 3D-printable material that can stretch, flex and still stay friendly to living cells could change how medical ...
