(Nanowerk Spotlight) The development of efficient cooling technology based on environmentally friendly and biobased materials is crucial to our day-to-day activities, such as food preservation, air ...

The most obvious ideas are not always clear. Take aerogel for instance, a transparent, smoky blue substance that’s been especially manufactured to bring home a piece of a comet, among other things.

Nanoporous polymer aerogel channels boost soft transistor performance while remaining stretchable and recyclable, offering a single materials platform for high gain biosensors, neuromorphic elements ...

Aerogels are three-dimensional, nanoporous solid materials formed by replacing the liquid component of a gel with gas, while preserving the solid network. Their characteristic structure yields ...
