Extraterrestrial civilizations need a great deal of energy as they advance up the Kardashev scale. Fossil fuels are finite, wind and solar energy are carbon free but not as efficient as fossil fuels, and traditional nuclear ...
Have you ever imagined that high-density metals could be converted into an ultralight aerogel? This counterintuitive idea was presented in 2009 by Eychmüller's group, where all-metal-made aerogels, i.e., metal aerogels (MAs), ...
Wuhan University-led research is reporting the development of a revivable self-assembled supramolecular biomass fibrous framework (a novel foam filter) that efficiently removes microplastics from complex aquatic environments.
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University show that agricultural land preserved around river confluences can help mitigate floods. They make a case for Eco-DRR, an approach that uses existing environmental resources ...

Currently employed computational methods to simulate materials and their mechanical behavior are based on molecular dynamics (MD) with atomistic force-fields. These methods provide an excellent description of the thermodynamically ...
In a Viewpoint published in the journal BioScience, a team led by David S. Mason and Mark E. Bell of Michigan State University suggests that expanding wild-harvested meat donation programs could help address the dual problems ...
