Jul 06, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Researchers in the Oregon State University College of Science have demonstrated the potential of an inexpensive nanomaterial to scrub carbon dioxide from industrial emissions. The findings, published in Cell Reports Physical Science ("CO2 capture from wet flue gas using a water-stable and cost-effective metal-organic framework"),...

Jul 06, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Countless technologies – from smartphones and TVs to infrared instruments on the James Webb Space Telescope and high-speed wireless telecommunication devices using microwaves – exploit sections of the electromagnetic spectrum. But somewhere between commonly used microwaves and infrared light, lies a neglected region called the...

Jul 06, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Halide perovskites are a family of materials that have attracted attention for their superior optoelectronic properties and potential applications in devices such as high-performance solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and lasers. These materials have largely been implemented into thin-film or micron-sized device applications. Precisely integrating these...

Jul 06, 2023 (Nanowerk News)Researchers have developed a metallic gel that is highly electrically conductive and can be used to print three-dimensional (3D) solid objects at room temperature. They published their findings in Matter ("Metallic gels for conductive 3D and 4D printing"). “3D printing has revolutionized manufacturing, but we’re not...

Jul 05, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Chemists at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a new way to recycle a common type of plastic found in soda bottles and other packaging. The team’s method relies on electricity and some nifty chemical reactions, and it’s simple enough that you can watch...
