Ancient Japanese art of kirigami guides artificial intelligence (AI) technique for durable, wearable electronics.

Extremely small arrays of magnets with strange and unusual properties can order themselves by increasing entropy, or the tendency of physical systems to disorder, a behavior that appears to contradict standard thermodynamics—but doesn’t.    “Paradoxically, the system orders because it wants to be more disordered,” said Cristiano Nisoli, a

Industrial processes for chemical separations, including natural gas purification and the production of oxygen and nitrogen for medical or industrial uses, are collectively responsible for about 15 percent of the world’s energy use.

A nitrogen-doped carbon-coated nickel anode can catalyze a crucial reaction in hydrogen fuel cells at a small percentage of the cost of the precious metals presently used, scientists from Cornell University have discovered.

Industrial processes for chemical separation, including natural gas purification and the production of oxygen and nitrogen for medical or industrial uses, are responsible for about 15 percent of energy use worldwide. Researchers at MIT and Stanford developed a membrane to carry out separation processes with roughly 1/10 the energy use and emissions.
