A Stanford team are exploring an emerging technology for renewable energy storage: liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs). Hydrogen is already used as fuel or a means for generating electricity, but containing and transporting it is tricky.

With applications in clothing, construction and food storage, a new textile reduces heat from both the sun and thermal radiation from nearby buildings.

For the first time, researchers from the University of Tokyo successfully edited genes using the CRISPR technique in a highly resilient tardigrade species previously impossible to study with genome-editing tools.

The glassy, amber-like polymer can be used for long-term storage of DNA, such as entire human genomes or digital files such as photos.

Researchers reporting in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology measured concerning levels of ethylene oxide in Louisiana’s southeastern corridor with mobile optical instruments, a technique they say could improve health risk assessments.

Existing designs of flexible piezoelectric sensors are either are costly or have limited sensitivity. Researchers tackled these issues by developing a novel piezoelectric composite material.

Researchers have combined atomic-scale experiments with theory to create a tool to predict how high-entropy alloys will behave under high-temperature oxidative environments.

Scientists have developed a minimal synthetic cell that follows external chemical cues and demonstrates a governing principle of biology called “symmetry breaking.”

To speed up the search for advanced functional materials, scientists are using AI tools to identify promising materials from hundreds of millions of chemical formulations.

Scientists have demonstrated a new method to extract valuable lithium from very dilute liquids – including seawater, groundwater and the “flowback water” generated from fracking and offshore oil drilling operations.
