  • Algorithm determines just how processed our food is

    To develop the machine learning classifier, dubbed FoodProX, the team of researchers used nutritional labeling information as provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies.

  • A fruitful approach to solar-driven water purification

    Coconut husks and other fruit wastes can be transformed into MXene to enhance the efficiency of solar water desalination and purification.

  • Celanese to unveil latest solutions portfolio for electric vehicles at EVS36

    The company will showcase an expanded portfolio of materials and systems developments that accelerate innovation for advanced mobility applications.

  • Choosing the right potting compound: Here is why it matters

    The ideal potting compound for a specific application will have the proper dielectric constant, electrical resistance and breakdown voltage.

  • MIT develops smart suture for drug delivery, sensing

    The suture was developed by “decellularizing” pig tissue, wherein cellular material was removed using detergents and other components, resulting in a cell-free material dubbed “De-gut.”

  • Custom 3D printed wound dressing benefits burn victims, cancer patients

    By integrating time-released pain medication, the dressing can remain useful longer than traditional wraps.

  • Coated, reusable sponge gets the lead out

    Captured metals can be recovered and recycled for use in battery manufacture and other applications, and the sponge platform reused to produce potable drinking water.

  • This scalable system annihilates PFAS

    The on-site treatment solution destroys these "forever chemicals" to non-detectable levels.

  • Safer medical imaging with solar cell material

    A solar cell material is capable of detecting X-ray dose rates over 250 times lower than the current best performing detectors used commercially.

  • Microrobots and the fight against bladder disease

    Imagine if microrobots could perform certain tasks in the body, such as non-invasive surgeries.

  • Bonding material braces perovskite solar cell performance

    The new molecular crosslinker preserves solar cell efficiency under harsh environmental conditions.

  • Cooling solar cells with water

    An efficient passive cooling system for solar panels uses water desorption and endothermic reaction dissolution processes.

  • Video: ECG patch designed with a tiny environmental footprint

    This sustainable electrocardiogram (ECG) patch is fully recyclable and made of biomaterials.

  • Oxford Flow launches new innovative IM-S wafer type gas regulator

    The new IM-S series from Oxford Flow features a range of pilot-operated regulators designed for process gases, offering high performance through an axial flow design.

  • Netherlands-based building is dismantleable and reusable

    The Matrix One building, which is home to tech and sustainability companies as well as a laboratory, boasts an interior space of 140,000 sq ft across six floors.

  • Massive aluminum factory breaks ground in Mississippi

    The $2.5 billion aluminum mill will be located near the Golden Triangle Regional Airport.

  • This solar system dishes out heat and hydrogen

    This pilot-scale parabolic dish solar reactor has been demonstrated to efficiently generate hydrogen and heat.

  • Metal recovery from CIGS cells by selective leaching

    An environmentally friendly method of recycling the precious metals used in the manufacture of thin-film copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) solar cells has been demonstrated.

  • Inflatable skyscrapers could change the landscape of future cities

    According to the firm, the inflatable, balloon-like structures would be made from lightweight and flexible materials that can be torn down easily and reused and erected elsewhere.
