A team of engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has created a unique device that uses a bubble-wrap-encased sponge to boil water fueled by nothing but sunlight. The ...
That tiny, plastic-looking black cube up there can absorb up to 180 times its own weight in toxic waste without absorbing any water. How? As with just about every amazing and/or inexplicable ...
We may have our best tool yet for fighting oil spills as researchers from Argonne National Lab have developed a new material that can absorb up to 90 times its weight in oil. The new technology works ...
A sponge is a sponge because its porous material is able to absorb liquid of any kind. But what about liquid metal? Can a sponge actually absorb the heavy quicksilver material known as mercury? Not at ...
Graphene sponge can absorb light and emit energetic electrons for breakthrough solar sail propulsion
The direct light propulsion of matter was observed on a macroscopic scale for the first time using a bulk graphene [graphene sponge] based material. The unique structure and properties of graphene and ...
Bringing the filtering abilities of a fuel cell into the blood vessels of living organisms, a new device could cut down on toxic effects of cancer treatment. At the heart of this approach — recently ...
