New active matter self-organization mechanism for bacterial cell division may inspire synthetic self-healing materials by forming ring structures through filament alignment.
Researchers develop self-propelled zeolite microrobots that can catalyze industrial chemical reactions in organic solvents, potentially enabling more efficient and controllable manufacturing processes.
A new material, nanovoid dispersed gold, has uniformly distributed nanoscale voids ranging from a few to several hundred nanometers, created using dealloying, compression, and annealing.
