Investigators from NYU Abu Dhabi’s Smart Materials Lab (SML) and Center for Smart Engineering Materials (CSEM) have developed an innovative method of harvesting water from naturally occurring sources like fog and dew.

2D monolayer nanosheets composed of layered perovskite come with several attractive properties. But, it has been challenging to build them with tunable bandgaps in the visible region with no addition of oxygen defects.

Investigators recently developed and evaluated an effective and scalable technique for producing soft polymer materials in a variety of structures, or “morphologies,” ranging from ribbons and nanoscale sheets to rods and branched particles.

Today’s civilization is rapidly shifting away from fossil fuels and towards renewable resources and electric batteries. Despite the pressing need to transition to greener techniques, core challenges pertaining to efficiency and sustainability remain.

Gene therapy has the potential to treat a broad spectrum of diseases caused by genetic mutations. Despite plenty of diverse research in the field, gene therapy has historically only been used to treat a relatively small number of patients, and even fewer have been successfully cured.

Channeling ions into defined pathways in perovskite materials increases the stability and operational performance of perovskite solar cells, according to scientists.

As legislation in multiple states eases former restrictions around medical and recreational cannabis in the United States, an increasing proportion of the population reports use of the drug. Between 2016 and 2018, more than 22 percent of Massachusetts residents reported any prior cannabis use for medical or recreational reasons. However, little is known about cannabis use in patients who undergo surgery or interventional procedures, where cannabis use has important additional clinical implicatio...

Current air filters cannot simultaneously catch microscopic particles and toxic chemicals like formaldehyde, but an air filter made from corn protein can.

North Carolina State University’s new study throws light on how electric fields can be employed to change the thermal properties of ferroelectric materials, enabling engineers to influence the heat flow via the materials.

About 10 years ago, scientists announced the discovery of a new class of ultrathin materials that could compete with the exceptional optical and electrical characteristics of graphene, a type of carbon discovered in 2004 that fascinates both scientists and engineers.
