Covalently fused fiber junctions help an ultralight aerogel recover from deformation while preserving the porous structure that keeps heat under control.

Aerogel materials serve a vital role as protective materials needed for many fields, including as electromagnetic interference shielding material for 5G technology, thermally insulating material in ...

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 ...

Adsorption—not alchemy—can transform waste into recycled gold. A protein sponge made from food waste recovers gold from e-waste, creating high-purity nuggets (Adv. Mater. 2024, DOI: ...
