porous

Porous media such as concrete physically represent a spherical packing of different components - in this case cement, rock and water. The mechanical properties of such mixtures are still difficult to calculate due to their discretized…

Researchers from Stockholm University have developed porous crystals made from pomegranate extract to capture and degrade pharmaceutical molecules found in local municipal wastewater. The research is published in the scientific journal…

Shobhita Dhulipala has been in the movie industry for nearly seven years, having started with Anurag Kashyap’s 'Raman Raghav' opposite Vicky Kaushal, but it was Zoya Akhtar’s 'Made in Heaven' that was her breakthrough moment. From there on,…

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been gaining attention as promising carbon-neutral porous materials, thanks to their high performance in gas storage, separation, and conversion. The geometric building blocks of MOFs, metal clusters and…

VANCOUVER – A 21-year-old goalie played his first National Hockey League game on Wednesday. And even after playing it for the Vancouver Canucks, Arturs Silovs wants more. The Canucks’ minor-league starter and top goaltending prospect,…

The most well-known forms of carbon include graphite and diamond, but there are other more exotic nanoscale allotropes of carbon as well. These include graphene and fullerenes, which are sp2 hybridized carbon with zero (flat-shaped) or…

What laws govern how chemicals pass through filters? How do droplets of oil move through layers of stone? How do blood cells travel through a living organism? A team of researchers led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Max…

Researchers from Northwestern University have made a significant advance in the way they produce exotic open-framework superlattices made of hollow metal nanoparticles. Using tiny hollow particles termed metallic nanoframes and modifying…

A tiny bubble popping within a liquid seems more fanciful than traumatic. But millions of popping vapor bubbles can cause significant damage to rigid structures like boat propellers or bridge supports. Can you imagine the damage such…

Using an inexpensive polymer called melamine -- the main component of Formica -- chemists have created a cheap, easy and energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide from smokestacks, a key goal for the United States and other nations as…
