As technology and sustainability drive packaging trends, the future of absorbent pad packaging is evolving rapidly, combining ...

A team of researchers recently announced that they had engineered a new rubber-like solid substance that has surprising qualities. It can absorb and release very large quantities of energy. And it is ...

Using specially synthesized crystalline materials, scientists from the University of Southern Denmark have created a substance that is able to absorb and store oxygen in such high concentrations that ...

The chemistry Nobel was awarded on Wednesday to three scientists who discovered a revolutionary way of making materials full ...

A recent discovery by materials science researchers in Drexel University’s College of Engineering might one day prevent electronic devices and components from going haywire when they’re too close to ...

Researchers at the University of Ottawa have made a discovery that changes what we know about light and materials. They found that engineered achiral (symmetric) materials, called achiral plasmonic ...

A group of physicists from Russia, Sweden, and the U.S. has demonstrated a highly unusual optical effect: They managed to "virtually" absorb light using a material that has no light-absorbing capacity ...

It is possible to fully absorb electromagnetic radiation using an anisotropic crystal, report scientists. Electromagnetic energy harvesting in the visible spectrum is very important for photovoltaics ...

Circular cotton is used to create colorful sound absorbtion tiles from Impact Acoustics. With only 12% of clothing materials being recycled and 92 million tonnes of textile waste being produced ...

Ron Weasley's Deluminator in the Harry Potter series has the power to absorb all light. In real life, scientists have developed something similar - a material so dark it absorbs 99 percent of all ...

Researchers at Argonne National Lab have developed a 'sponge' that can absorb up to 90 times its weight in oil and can be reused up to 100 times. The researchers hope their tech can be used to clean ...
