Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are among the most attractive porous materials known today. Their miniaturization to the nanoscale—into nanoMOFs—is expected to serve myriad applications from drug ...

New research reveals the best way to make metal particles stick to a surface in a spray-coating process. Surprisingly, melting hurts rather than helps. When bonding two pieces of metal, either the ...

Inovati, a Santa Barbara-based company, has successfully developed a low-pressure metal deposition technique that has won it an R&D 100 Award for 2002. Known as Kinetic Metalization, it is capable of ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

A new solvent-free manufacturing process could make batteries more sustainable and cut manufacturing costs by 15% and energy use by 47% (Joule 2023, DOI: 10.1016/j.joule.2023.04.006). It could also be ...

Researchers’ interest in thermal spraying varies from the very practical to the uncommon and theoretical studies. In between this lies the July 2000 issue of Materials Research Bulletin titled ...
