Researchers are making progress on the design of a solar battery made from an abundant, non-toxic and easily synthesized material composed of 2D carbon nitride. The collaborative effort between the ...

The applications of ultrathin, conductive films such as those made of graphene have many applications, but it's been thought ...

A team of researchers recently announced that they had engineered a new rubber-like solid substance that has surprising qualities. It can absorb and release very large quantities of energy. And it is ...

In everyday life, designing spaces that both let air flow and absorb sound can be a tricky balancing act. Usually, materials that allow air to pass through—like vents—also let sound escape, making it ...

AZoM speaks with Sung Hoon Kang from Johns Hopkins University about his research into a material that protects like metal upon impact but is lighter and tougher than metal. This novel foam-like ...
