PFAS, a family of thousands of human-made chemicals, are everywhere, and some of them are known to be harmful for our bodies and the environment. Even more frightening is how little we know about these pervasive pollutants found in everything from food packaging and cleaning products to firefighting foams.
Hydrogen fuel cells-;which can efficiently power cars, generators, and even spacecraft with minimal greenhouse gas emissions-;are promising, renewable alternatives to combustion engines and other polluting forms of power.
In a landmark discovery, FLEET University of Wollongong (UOW) researchers have realised the non-contact manipulation of liquid metal.
The strategic partnership between II-VI and Element Six aims to advance single-crystal diamond technology, unlocking new applications in various industries.
Extracting drinking water from the air in a desert might sound like science fiction, but in fact it can be possible sooner than we think. The solution can be found in a new material class with exceptional properties - Metal-organic frameworks (MOF), that more and more people are talking about. At Chalmers University of Technology, there are researchers with leading expertise in the field.

At the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst), a research group has recently declared that they had designed a new rubber-like solid substance that exhibits surprising qualities.
Cornell University scientists have designed unique computer modeling software that simulates the 3D printing process and successfully tested it aboard the international space station – ushering in a new era for deep space exploration.
Using a novel polymerization process, MIT chemical engineers have created a new material that is stronger than steel and as light as plastic, and can be easily manufactured in large quantities.
A novel and better approach at detecting non-uniformities in the optical properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials could potentially open the door to new uses for these materials, such as the application of 2D materials for drug detection, according to a team of researchers.
