A new class of metallic materials with potential applications in airplane turbines, nuclear reactors and equipment for space exploration can withstand extreme temperatures and resist fractures, but scientists haven't understood why until now.
Nnew stretchable biomimetic multimodal receptor built with kirigami film engineering and thermoelectric nanomaterials can switch between 2D and 3D modes to detect range of stimuli.
A new technique for electrospinning sponges has allowed scientists to directly produce 3D scaffolds - on which skin grafts could be grown from the patient's own skin.
