Getting it to stick: Designing optimal core-shell MOFs for direct air capture
Direct air capture may be key to saving Earth from the effects of climate change, but there's a catch: It's really hard to do......»»
Topological materials become switchable
A donut is not a breakfast roll. Those are two very clearly distinguishable objects: One has a hole, the other does not. In mathematics, the two shapes are said to be topologically different—you cannot transform one into the other by small, continu.....»»
NASA had been designing lunar bases for decades before Armstrong first set foot on the moon
It's only natural to look at the moon and wonder what it would be like to live there. Thanks to Buzz Aldrin who landed there in 1969, we know it's a magnificent desolation. Even before the Apollo missions science fiction writers and scientists knew h.....»»
