Across some of the planet’s driest regions, engineers are racing to turn humidity into a reliable tap, using materials that ...

Researchers have developed a low-cost, energy-efficient method for making materials that can capture carbon dioxide directly from the air. Researchers used a method similar to charging a battery to ...

X-ray crystallographic analysis is one of the only methods that provides direct information on molecular structures at the atomic level. The method, however, has the intrinsic limitation that the ...

The crystal sponge technology is a revolutionary technique, which enables the direct and precise determination of the molecular structure of liquid and gas targets. The technique uses a special ...

The crystalline sponge method represents an innovative approach in structural chemistry whereby target molecules, often difficult to crystallise in their pure form, are absorbed into the well‐defined ...

Thousands of individuals currently monitored for food pipe cancer could be spared invasive diagnostic procedures thanks to a groundbreaking "sponge on a string" test, new research suggests. A study ...
