Dr. Michael Ponting is Chief Scientific Officer at Peak Nano, a leading innovator in advanced capacitor films, specialty films, and optics. "One word: plastics." That single line from The Graduate ...

The future of energy storage is being written at the molecular level. As renewable energy is transforming how we generate electricity, battery storage technologies are emerging as the backbone of a ...

High-precision chemistry in China is helping to make both catalysts for hydrogen cars and improved solar cells — and the team behind this work is looking to grow its ranks. One of China’s leading ...

Inspired by the shape-shifting skin of octopuses, Penn State researchers developed a smart hydrogel that can change appearance, texture, and shape on command. The material is programmed using a ...

Milestones of porous materials with monomodal pore structures (Porous materials 1.0): (a) new zeolite topology, (b) organic zeolites, (c) mesoporous materials, and (d) extra-large pore zeolites.

Materials research relies on intuition-driven exploration, where chemists and engineers tweak tiny elements in compositions or processes and then wait to see the result. This approach is powerful - ...

We apply materials science to develop sustainable solutions that address critical industry needs for energy efficiency, resource conservation, and material performance. The Materials Science ...
