The "nothing" (empty space) feature of porous soft materials is foundational to their properties and applications, and has been a focus of study for many years. Now, researchers from Japan have solved ...

Due to their high porosity, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are regarded as promising materials for innovative applications, ...

Advances in artificial intelligence for porous materials design could impact a wide variety of fields, from orthopedic implants to next-generation batteries. The world is full of holes. Bones, rocks, ...

In recent years, porous two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, carbon nitride, and boron nitride have garnered a lot of interest due to their unique ...

Mesoporous materials are a class of nanomaterials characterized by their highly ordered porous structure with pore sizes ranging from 2 to 50 nanometers. These materials possess large surface areas, ...

The world is full of holes. Bones, rocks, wood, concrete…look at any of these materials close enough and you’ll see that their structures contain tiny pockets of empty space. And these pockets are ...
