Every year, thousands of new materials are created, yet many never reach their full potential because their applications aren't immediately obvious—a challenge University of Toronto researchers aim to address using artificial ...
University of Utah researchers have developed a material that addresses an urgent environmental challenge: the real-time detection and efficient removal of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a toxic and persistent member of the ...
A research team led by Linda Zhang at Tohoku University has developed a novel metal-organic framework (MOF) that enables record-breaking separation of hydrogen isotopes, achieving a D2/H2 selectivity of 32.5 at 60 K.
A new study reveals an alarming number of mechanisms throughout the life-cycle of plastic that could enhance or spread antimicrobial resistance.
Rare earth elements sustain the Information Age, and securing a supply of these metals has become a matter of national and economic security. They're ubiquitous in our smart technologies, high-performance materials and industrial ...
After two weeks of negotiations, the International Seabed Authority (ISA) is still far from finalizing rules for extracting coveted metals on the high seas despite heightened pressure triggered by US efforts to fast-track ...
Recently, a research team successfully developed a series of CoNi-metal-organic framework (MOF) nanozymes with laccase-like activity using a gas-liquid interface dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) low-temperature plasma (LTP) ...
In order to help prevent the climate crisis, actively reducing already-emitted CO₂ is essential. Accordingly, direct air capture (DAC)—a technology that directly extracts only CO₂ from the air—is gaining attention. However, ...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are characterized by high porosity and structural versatility. They have enormous potential, for example, for applications in electronics. However, their low electrical conductivity has so ...
Photocatalysts are powerful materials that use light as a source of energy for operation, becoming indispensable materials in many fields, from the food and biomedical industry to energy production. They are mainly composed ...
