A single-step, plasma-enhanced catalytic process to convert sulfur dioxide to pure sulfur from tail gas streams may provide a promising, more environmentally-friendly alternative to current multistage thermal, catalytic and absorptive processes.
The human brain is a more efficient computer than the most sophisticated supercomputers — by a factor of a million.
A multi-institutional research group has identified, for the first time, how cellulose crystals orient themselves relative to the cell wall in plants, with potential implications for chemical and energy development.
A new method of bioprinting uses aspiration of tiny biologics such as spheroids, cells and tissue strands, to precisely place them in 3D patterns to create artificial tissues with natural properties
The Materials Research Institute (MRI) has announced the three winners of the 2020 Rustum and Della Roy Innovation in Materials Research Award.
The Center for Atomically Thin Multifunctional Coatings (ATOMIC), is preparing to move from Phase I to Phase II of the program.
A stretchable system that can harvest energy from human breathing and motion for use in wearable health-monitoring devices may be possible.
Fibrous proteins such as collagen and fibrinogen form a thin solid layer on the surface of an aqueous solution, could lead to more efficient bioprinting and tissue engineering.
A desalination membrane acts as a filter for salty water: Push the water through the membrane, get clean water suitable for agriculture, energy production and even drinking.
Reactive molecules, such as free radicals, can be produced in the body after exposure to certain environments or substances and go on to cause cell damage.
