A newly developed bacterial cellulose manufacturing technique could lead to strong, multifunctional materials capable of ...
The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...
Scientists were able to fabricate a pure form of glass and coat specialized pieces of DNA with it to create a material that was not only stronger than steel, but incredibly lightweight. Working on the ...

New heat-pressed silk material outperforms wood, rivals Kevlar and carbon fiber
Researchers from Tufts University, Imperial College London, and the University of Michigan have developed ...
It may not be as catchy a name as Iron Man, but in a fight you might be better off betting on Glass DNA Nanolattice Man instead. Engineers at the University of Connecticut have developed a very strong ...
Knots are known for boosting the strength of materials, from the tiniest twists of DNA to (potentially) the very fabric of the universe. Now, Caltech engineers have developed a new material consisting ...
A recent study in Nature Communications explored nanoporous amorphous carbon nanopillars, produced using an innovative method that combines self-assembled polymeric carbon precursors with nanoimprint ...
