In fundamental studies and practical applications, ranging from chemical reactions to bio-analysis, manipulating droplets is essential. Droplet control by light offers remote, contactless management with astounding temporal and spatial precision. Meanwhile, high-performance and dependable droplet light control are still difficult to achieve.
In the past, it has been difficult to understand the highly complicated processes that occur when ions penetrate a substance because they happen so quickly. However, modern measurements have made it possible.
The key to producing better rechargeable lithium batteries could be a little brushing. Chemistry professor James Tour’s lab at Rice University developed a method for fine-tuning the surface of battery anodes by merely brushing particles into them.
An international team of scientists from Saudi Arabia, China, Pakistan, India, and Australia have collaborated on a new paper in Cement and Concrete Composites using machine learning to test foamed concrete.

A new study by The University of South Australia has tested and verified the structural integrity of walls constructed from tyres packed with earth, with the results potentially providing new opportunities for the reuse of end-of-life tyres in the construction industry.
Plastic upcycling efficiently converts plastics to valuable commodity chemicals while using less of the precious metal ruthenium. The method could recycle waste plastic pollution into useful products, helping keep it out of landfills.
MIT Professional Education is launching a new live virtual course, “Machine Learning for Materials Informatics.”
Metallic glass is a significantly advanced alloy with potential for numerous engineering uses. In many ways, it resembles a solid form due to its exquisite metal appearance, extreme flexibility, tremendous strength, and tightly packed atomic structure.
