Engineers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison (UW–Madison) have developed a nanofiber material that surpasses its extensively used equivalents — including Kevlar fabric and steel plates — in guarding against impacts from high-speed projectiles.

A team of researchers in Korea has created metal nanoparticles that are capable of significantly boosting the performance of hydrogen fuel cell catalysts by employing the semiconductor manufacturing technology.

Similar to middle school students, microparticles are not the most graceful dancers in the world. For quite a few of them, it is one step forward, one step back.

Coordination nanosheets are newly evolving 2D materials with a wide variety of applications. However, extremely crystalline nanosheets are hard to synthesize through solution-based methods.

At Case Western Reserve University, researchers have come up with an affordable means to change an ordinary shirt into an electronic smart shirt.

Solar photovoltaics (PV) is the main turning point in the shift toward a sustainable energy economy. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) roadmap proposes that by 2050, electricity production from PV should realize 43% of the total installed power capacity.

Researchers from the Washington State University (WSU) have developed a nanomaterials-engineered penetrating sealer that can better guard concrete from moisture and salt, which are two of the most damaging factors in crumbling concrete set up in northern states.

A team of scientists at the RIKEN Centre for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan headed by Ryuhei Nakamura has discovered a new practical and sustainable approach for generating hydrogen from water. On contrary to current approaches, the new method does not need rare metals that are short in supply or costly.

Sea pineapples, an edible ascidian, are a Japanese delicacy. The region of Tohoku is well-known for its sea pineapple production—called hoya in Japanese.

The term “robot” would probably summon up images of sturdy metallic bodies that are indestructible when attacked.
