A new process that lets scientists chemically cut apart and stitch together nanoscopic layers of two-dimensional materials -- like a tailor altering a suit -- could be just the tool for designing the ...

Scientists have unlocked the secrets behind predictably synthesizing N/S co-doped microporous carbon, a highly effective adsorbent for environmental pollution control. This breakthrough allows for the ...

A research team at Penn State has uncovered a potential method for precisely manipulating a material's properties by altering its atomic arrangement. Their discovery suggests that "atomic spray ...

To help his students conceptualize the method of concurrent materials design, one of 10 priority research areas outlined in Northwestern Engineering’s new strategic vision, the McCormick School of ...
