Washable, wearable graphene capacitors could be woven directly into clothes

The devices could be used for flexible circuits, healthcare monitoring, energy conversion, and other applications.

Machine learning predicts mechanical properties of porous materials

Researchers have used machine learning techniques to accurately predict the mechanical properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which could be used to extract water from the air in the desert, store dangerous gases or power hydrogen-based cars.

Measuring nanoparticles in medicinal products

Scientists have reviewed and developed robust methods and procedures for measuring the accurate size of nanoparticles enabled medicinal products in complex biological environments.

Applying precious metal catalysts economically

Researchers have developed a new method of using rare and expensive catalysts as sparingly as possible. They enclosed a precious metal salt in outer shells, tiny micelles, and had them strike against a carbon electrode, thus coating the surface with nanoparticles of the precious metal contained in the micelles.
