Physicists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have achieved controlled conformational arrangements in nanostructures using a flexible precursor and selenium doping, enhancing material properties and structural ...
Stress-induced cracks often lead to catastrophic failure of materials. For membranes, stress loads concomitant with thermal and mechanical risks during separation will gradually produce cracks, which weaken the stability ...
An innovative strategy, known as the "Up-Down Approach," has the potential to dramatically accelerate the creation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The paper is published in the journal Nature Synthesis.
Non-specific binding (NSB), the most annoying thing to scientists in the biosensing field, is one of the main factors limiting the performance of diagnostic sensors.
A team of researchers has reshaped our understanding of developing gas storage materials known as porous coordination polymers (PCPs), which is also known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
Water contamination by pharmaceuticals and heavy metals poses severe environmental and health risks. Traditional methods like biodegradation and filtration often lack efficiency and sustainability. Photocatalysis, using solar ...
Rare-earth elements are everywhere in modern life, found in everything from the smart device you're reading this on to the LED lightbulbs overhead and neodymium magnets in electric vehicles and wind turbines.
Table salt and refined sugar look white to our eyes, but that is only because their individual colorless crystals scatter visible light. This feature of crystals is not always desirable when it comes to materials for optical ...
Plastic pollution has emerged as one of our most pressing environmental issues with the increasing use of disposable plastics. As they are non-biodegradable, plastics accumulate in the environment, altering habitats and natural ...
Researchers at Oregon State University have developed a material that shows a remarkable ability to convert sunlight and water into clean energy.
