Microwave synthesis produces MXene 25x faster than traditional methods while using 75% less energy, according to new research.

Researchers have uncovered a source of "replication stress" during DNA replication, shedding light on a new cancer target.

The light emitted from 2D materials can be modulated by embedding a second 2D material inside them, a new study suggests. These tiny "nanodot" islands could allow for ultrahigh resolution monitors and advances in quantum computing.

Researchers have developed a method for synthesizing highly-pure porous organic polymers (POPs). This lack of impurities improves their porosity, unlocking new potential for CO2 adsorption or use in fuel cells.

Using AI-driven models, researchers have identified new processing techniques that can improve the speed of production and strength of high-performance titanium alloy parts.

Stretching spider silk aligns its proteins and strengthens fibers, a new study suggests. This could improve engineered silk for biodegradable sutures, body armor and high-performance materials, and offer a sustainable alternative to synthetic fibers.

Researchers show that melatonin improves muscle energy efficiency and could become an innovative therapy to combat obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Researchers have developed a stiff and strong hydrogel that self-heals when injured and behaved like human skin. The invention could have application in creating realistic artificial skin, as well as in drug delivery, wound healing and soft robotics.

Scientists have developed a new one-pot method for synthesizing hybrid battery electrolytes, which could be expanded for use in semiconductor research, electronics, industrial coatings, sealants and other fields that rely on hybrid materials.

Researchers have discovered how antibodies help to protect against contagious bacterial infections caused by Strep A, including strep throat. The findings are contributing to efforts to accelerate the development of a Strep A vaccine.
