In recent years, porous two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, carbon nitride, and boron nitride have garnered a lot of interest due to their unique ...

Researchers at Kyoto University and Tohoku University have developed a new porous polymer gel that selectively recognizes ...

When physicists fire beams of fast electrons at materials, they often need to know exactly how much energy those electrons will lose as they travel through. Through new research published in Physical ...

It might seem strange that making holes in something increases its value and application, but this is exactly the case with porous materials. Porous ceramics, metals, carbons, and polymers play a ...

A research group from the Jordan University of Science and Technology and the Australian College of Kuwait have developed a new passive cooling technique for solar modules. The method is based on the ...

One prospective source of renewable energy is hydrogen gas produced from water with the aid of sunlight. Researchers have developed a material, nanoporous cubic silicon carbide, that exhibits ...

The growth of many industries in the early 1960s, particularly aviation and astronautics, required the development of novel materials. During this time, titanium and titanium alloys also gained ...

A research team at POSTECH has successfully synthesized a new hybrid material that effectively captures carbon dioxide and other toxic gases through its porous organic-inorganic structure. The ...

The world is full of holes. Bones, rocks, wood, concrete…look at any of these materials close enough and you’ll see that their structures contain tiny pockets of empty space. And these pockets are ...

Researchers have discovered how to fine-tune a futuristic type of porous glass that can trap gases like CO2 and hydrogen.
