Porous materials are widely used for gas storage, separation, catalysis, and environmental purification. Their functionality ...

The "nothing" (empty space) feature of porous soft materials is foundational to their properties and applications, and has been a focus of study for many years. Now, researchers from Japan have solved ...

Researchers at Koç University have developed a light-driven method to produce porous semiconducting polymers under ambient ...

Porous glass materials represent a versatile class of engineered substances characterised by a network of interconnected pores. These materials display a range of properties that can be precisely ...

Several factors, such as surface area, pore size distribution, temperature, pressure, and the nature of both the gas and porous material, influence the rate and extent of gas sorption. The size and ...

Van der Waals forces, once deemed too weak for structural integrity, have been shown to create stable, highly porous frameworks with exceptional thermal resilience and reversible assembly, paving the ...

Weak van der Waals interactions align metalorganic polyhedra into one-dimensional microporous fibrils, enabling flexible ...

AI is helping scientists crack the code on next-gen batteries that could replace lithium-ion tech. By discovering novel porous materials, researchers may have paved the way for more powerful and ...

Optical analysis and machine learning techniques can now readily detect microplastics in marine and freshwater environments using inexpensive porous metal substrates. Optical analysis and machine ...

A recent study, published in Science Advances, by Case Western Reserve University researchers reveals that manufactured porous separation materials often fail to function as intended because their ...
