E&T Magazine: Researchers at the University of Rochester and Delft University of Technology have employed 3D printing to develop a sustainable material made from algae, which could have applications ranging from fashion to space exploration. The scientists combined 3D printing with…
Materials Today: Materials scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a class of optical material that controls how heat radiation is directed from an object. Similar to the way overlapping blinds direct the angle of visible light…
MIT News: A lobster’s underbelly is lined with a thin, translucent membrane that is both stretchy and surprisingly tough. This marine under-armor, as MIT engineers reported in 2019, is made…
Materials Today: For the first time, researchers at Northwestern University have created borophane – an atomically thin boron material that is stable at standard temperatures and air pressures. They report this advance in a paper in Science. Researchers have long been excited by the promise of borophene – a single-atom-thick…
Quanta Magazine: For the last three years, electrons have been toying with physicists. The game started in 2018 when the lab of Pablo Jarillo-Herrero announced the find of the decade: When the researchers stacked one flat sheet of carbon atoms on…
