Graphene has been a wonder material ever since it was first isolated in 2004. A graphene sheet, one carbon atom thick, is strong, lightweight and highly conductive, and researchers have been ...

Designed to mimic bone, wood and other natural materials, the porous objects are lighter than traditional products and can be strategically inserted into structures to provide higher stiffness in ...

Researchers develop a low-carbon, high-strength cement material inspired by nature’s porous structures—offering improved ...

Porous crystals have been engineered to trap ‘oily’ molecules — enabling X-ray structures to be determined for these compounds that defy standard crystallographic analysis. Read the paper ...

The organic porous materials recently reported by the researchers of Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo) have a slightly peculiar structure. Initially, the researchers were trying to ...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are organic-inorganic hybrid crystalline porous materials that consist of a regular array of positively charged metal ions surrounded by organic 'linker' molecules. The ...

Programmable electrodes integrated into wearable devices enable selective molecular detection in complex formulations such as ...
