Porous materials contain regions of empty space into which guest molecules can be selectively adsorbed and sometimes chemically transformed. This has made them useful in both industrial and domestic ...

A research group from the Jordan University of Science and Technology and the Australian College of Kuwait have developed a new passive cooling technique for solar modules. The method is based on the ...

In recent years, porous two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, carbon nitride, and boron nitride have garnered a lot of interest due to their unique ...

Advances in artificial intelligence for porous materials design could impact a wide variety of fields, from orthopedic implants to next-generation batteries. The world is full of holes. Bones, rocks, ...

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.

Porous media, ranging from bones to concrete and from batteries to architected lattices, pose difficult challenges in fully harnessing for engineering applications due to their complex and variable ...

Multivariate porous materials (MTV) are like a "collection of Lego blocks," allowing for customized design at a molecular level to freely create desired structures. Using these materials enables a ...

Mesoporous materials are a class of nanomaterials characterized by their highly ordered porous structure with pore sizes ranging from 2 to 50 nanometers. These materials possess large surface areas, ...

The world is full of holes. Bones, rocks, wood, concrete…look at any of these materials close enough and you’ll see that their structures contain tiny pockets of empty space. And these pockets are ...
