Researchers report a flexible supercapacitor with electrodes made of wrinkled titanium carbide - a type of MXene nanomaterial - that maintained its ability to store and release electronic charges after repetitive stretching.

Researchers have developed a shape memory polymer that stores almost six times more energy than previous versions.

Scientists have discovered that applying a cellulose nanofiber coating that makes leaf surfaces water absorbent helps to protect against infection.

Researchers use ultraviolet light pulses to access ion conductor properties in perovskites that are otherwise difficult to safely attain.

Scientists find a way to use pristine graphene in valleytronics, a promising technology for encoding and processing quantum information.

Chemists have succeeded in producing a nano sphere of silicon atoms and a building block for a diamond-like crystal of the semiconductor elements silicon and germanium. The two new classes of materials have potential applications in the miniaturisation of computer chips, in high-resolution screens for smartphones, and in solar cells and light-emitting diodes with the highest levels of efficiency.
