(Nanowerk Spotlight) Hierarchical structures, spanning multiple length scales from nano- to macroscales, are very common in nature; but only in recent years have they been systematically studied in ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a novel method of 3D printing to fabricate 3D porous structures in one step. This method is named as immersion precipitation 3D printing (ip3DP). The porosity of the 3D ...

Pressure sensors are essential for a wide range of applications, including health monitoring, industrial diagnostics, etc.

Researchers have developed a photoresist for two-photon microprinting. It has now been used for the first time to produce three-dimensional polymer microstructures with cavities in the nano range. The ...

Tiny copper structures with pores at both the nanometer and micron size scales could play a key role in the next generation of detonators used to improve the reliability, reduce the size and lower the ...

Toray’s new porous carbon fiber (top left, showing hollow central shaft) features a controllable, nano- or micro-scale pore structure throughout the entire fiber (top right). That porous structure ...
