A simple material can separate carbon dioxide from other gases that fly out of the smokestacks of coal-fired power plants. It lacks the shortcomings that other proposed carbon filtration materials ...

A simple alloy has claimed the crown for toughest material ever recorded. In a new study, a team led by researchers at Berkeley Lab ran the alloy through a series of tests and discovered not only its ...

For husband-and-wife duo Damian and Britt Zunino, a unique tile installation is often an unexpected hero moment that forms the backbone of their design. They share their sourcing tricks, the ...

Includes updates and/or revisions. Emerging research suggests that, contrary to what students may think, material that’s easy to understand is not always easy to learn—and working harder can help them ...

Difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium alloys, high-temperature alloys, metal/ceramic/polymer-matrix composites, hard and brittle materials, as well as ...

Today, the dominant, though energy-intensive method for capturing carbon dioxide for storage involves bubbling industrial emissions through liquid amines. MOFs and other porous materials are promising ...
