A research team synthesized and determined the structure of a borate-linked 3D crystalline covalent organic framework, ...

The material can be used both in the pharmaceutical industry and for filtration at the molecular level. Porous materials are very interesting to scientists since they can interact with guest particles ...

In recent years, porous two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, carbon nitride, and boron nitride have garnered a lot of interest due to their unique ...

When engineers think about protective materials, like those used in packaging and support, they usually think about strength, ...

A tiny bubble popping within a liquid seems more fanciful than traumatic. But millions of popping vapor bubbles can cause significant damage to rigid structures like boat propellers or bridge supports ...

A research group from the Jordan University of Science and Technology and the Australian College of Kuwait have developed a new passive cooling technique for solar modules. The method is based on the ...

The world is full of holes. Bones, rocks, wood, concrete…look at any of these materials close enough and you’ll see that their structures contain tiny pockets of empty space. And these pockets are ...

The ocean holds more than 4 billion metric tons (t) of uranium, enough to provide nuclear power to the world for many decades. A new, easy-to-make membrane can extract that uranium with record ...

One prospective source of renewable energy is hydrogen gas produced from water with the aid of sunlight. Researchers have developed a material, nanoporous cubic silicon carbide, that exhibits ...

Several factors, such as surface area, pore size distribution, temperature, pressure, and the nature of both the gas and porous material, influence the rate and extent of gas sorption. The size and ...
