Researchers Propose New Way for Designing Cheaper, More Efficient Carbon Capture Materials

To make "clean" fossil fuel burning a reality, scientists have to remove carbon dioxide from the exhaust gases that arise from natural gas power plants or coal and stock or reuse it. For this, researchers are analyzing unique scrubbing liquids that bind and discharge the gas, but some of them show great potential to solidify into a cold honey consistency while binding carbon dioxide, making them ineffective and costly.

3D Printing of Conductive Metallic Inks Could Lead to Customized Electronics, Biomedical Devices

“Flat” and “rigid” are terms that are traditionally used to explain electronic devices. However, the rise in demand for wearable and flexible electronics, antennas, biomedical devices, and sensors has led a group of researchers at Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering to invent a novel way of printing intricate metallic architectures – as if they are suspended in midair.
