New Ceramic Nanofiber ‘Sponges’ for Flexible Insulation, Water Purification

Researchers have found a way to make ultralight sponge-like materials from nanoscale ceramic fibers. The highly porous, compressible and heat-resistant sponges could have numerous uses, from water purification devices to flexible insulating materials. “The basic science question we tried to answer is how can we make a material that’s highly deformable but resistant to high

Potassium-Ion Battery Concepts for Sustainable Energy Storage

Researchers are making progress in developing rechargeable batteries based on potassium, a potential alternative to lithium that”s less expensive and far more plentiful, and also have shown how to derive carbon for battery electrodes from old tires. “With the growth of rechargeable batteries for electronic devices, electric vehicles and power grid applications, there has been

Multimaterial 3D Printed Cell “Scaffolds” Strengthen Research into Regenerative Medicine

A study produced by four research institutions in Brazil combines two 3D printable polymers into structures ideal for cell-growth. Known as cell scaffolds, these structures are used in regenerative medicine; i.e. repairing the damage to human organs by using the body’s own cells. PCL is commonly used in 3D printing as it is biodegradable and
