Xianglan Bai illustrates her development of biobased carbon fiber with two beakers in researchers' hands.
Researchers developed a pre-embedded solid-solid redox mediation strategy that mixes sulfur and iodine at the nanoscale inside mesoporous carbon to accelerate sulfur conversion in all-solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries. The iodine redox chemistry enabled fast charging, long cycle life, and strong performance at higher active-material loadings across several sulfide solid electrolytes.

Advanced plastic materials are increasingly recognized as one of the key enabling technologies for addressing the challenges of competitiveness, sustainability and industrial autonomy across strategic sectors.
A new $2.7 million industry-led project will help establish the sovereign capability Australia needs to manufacture critical metal components for defense, maritime and medical applications.
With second-generation Universal PCR TPEs, KRAIBURG TPE is enabling brand manufacturers to increase the use of post-consumer recyclates in consumer and industry applications.
Researchers developed an entirely rare-earth-free regenerator system for 4 K Gifford-McMahon cryocoolers by combining MnNb2-xTaxO6 with CuFe1-xAlxO2 to exploit their complementary low-temperature heat capacities. The best configuration delivered 0.163 W at 4.2 K, about 40% more cooling capacity than the CFAO-based regenerator and 73% of the performance of benchmark HoCu2 under equivalent conditions.

Quantum information systems could one day shape everyday life through faster computing, sharper sensing and more secure communication.
A Rowan University team of engineers has developed a new way to measure how 3D printed concrete deforms during printing and curing, revealing how lower layers respond to the weight and pressure of newly deposited material.
India is poised to significantly expand polyethylene production capacity to reduce heavy import dependence, achieve self-sufficiency, and meet surging domestic demand driven by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and infrastructure growth.
Researchers developed an n-type, scaffolded Si–ZnxMg1-xO photocatalyst that produced hydrogen from water without sacrificial electron donors under 100 W tungsten-lamp irradiation. By tuning the Zn/Mg ratio and associated defect states, the best-performing Si–Zn0.3Mg0.7O composition reached a hydrogen evolution rate of 1,954 µmol h?¹ cm?² and an apparent quantum yield of 36.47% at 600 nm.

Comet Technologies Canada Inc. Today announced the official release of Dragonfly 3D World 2027, one of the software’s most comprehensive releases yet.
Researchers used a hierarchical machine learning strategy to identify tungsten bronze oxides and guide bismuth and germanium substitutions that improved permittivity and thermal stability. The resulting Ba4(Nd0.5Bi0.5)9.33(Ti0.99Ge0.01)18O54 ceramic combined high permittivity, very low dielectric loss, and near-zero temperature dependence, and was used to make compact prototype chip capacitors.
