Hydrogels, hydrophilic networks of polymeric chains equipped to retain a large quantity of water, have been extensively used in a range of applications. Latest advances in extremely stretchable hydrogels have extended their applications into the fields of transparent touch panels, soft robotics, and other applications necessitating large deformation.
A team of researchers has demonstrated that high oxide-ion conductivity is caused by the overbonding of channel oxygens in La-rich apatite-type lanthanum silicates and not by the presence of the interstitial oxygens.
A research team from the Department of Solid State Chemistry of the Lobachevsky University worked under Dr. Evgeny Bulanov to devise an innovative technique for obtaining bismuth-containing apatite.
High-strength, super-tough sheets of carbon have been developed by an international research team led by scientists at Beihang University in China and The University of Texas at Dallas. These sheets can be economically fabricated at low temperatures.
A new composite material that is flexible, non-toxic, sustainable and UV light-reflective has been developed after a team of researchers combined derivatives of two leftover materials - wood pulp and dried-up pieces of an invasive exotic pest.
Using an economical 3D printer, a team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University created flat plastic items that folded themselves into predetermined shapes, such as a boat, rose, or even a bunny when heated.
Researchers from the University of Connecticut have developed a biodegradable composite composed of silk fibers that can be used to mend broken load-bearing bones without the complications occasionally caused by other materials.
A pinch of salt can make simpler the creation of two-dimensional (2D) materials, and due to the efforts of researchers at Rice University, the reason is becoming evident.
Metamaterials researchers from the Duke University have shown the design and structure of a thin material that can regulate the redirection and reflection of sound waves with nearly flawless efficiency.
Researchers at McMaster University have developed a test solution to answer the delicate yet critical question ‘Is that meat still good?’ ‘Are you sure?’ Their test confirms with certainty if the meat and other foods are safe to consume or need to be thrown away.
