From breath analysis to explosive detection, many applications require reliable electronic "noses." Unfortunately, current technology often falls short. That is why researchers at KU Leuven have developed a flexible sensor ...
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been hailed as next-generation materials for capturing water from air, powering dehumidifiers, and driving energy-efficient heat pumps. Built from lightweight and organic building blocks, ...
PFAS are fluorinated compounds found in many everyday products, such as outdoor clothing and cookware like Teflon pans. This is because PFAS are durable, heat-resistant and dirt-repellent. Their stability is precisely what ...
UNIST and Hanyang University researchers have developed a novel porous material capable of high-purity separation of xylene isomers at room temperature. This breakthrough promises to significantly reduce energy consumption ...
Copper selenide (Cuâ‚‚Se) attracts scientific interest for its thermoelectric ability to convert heat into electricity, but a lack of atomic-level understanding has limited its practical applications for decades.
Ditches are all around: along roads, through neighborhoods, across fields and marshes. These human-made waterways are so common that they can be easy to miss. A new literature review published in Communications Earth & Environment ...
Johns Hopkins researchers have discovered new materials and a new process that could advance the ever-escalating quest to make smaller, faster and affordable microchips used across modern electronics—in everything from ...
Catalysts are indispensable for the large-scale production of many chemicals, as they accelerate chemical reactions. Some of them contain metal atoms such as iron as key building blocks. The electrons of each individual iron ...
Multivariate porous materials (MTV) are like a "collection of Lego blocks," allowing for customized design at a molecular level to freely create desired structures. Using these materials enables a wide range of applications, ...
Quantum computers promise enormous computational power, but the nature of quantum states makes computation and data inherently "noisy." Rice University computer scientists have developed algorithms that account for noise ...
