Engineers have developed a type of concrete that is not only stronger than traditional versions but can also capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This new material could help reduce the carbon footprint of the construction industry.
EPFL researchers have developed a new 3D-printable elastomer called DNGE, which combines high strength with excellent wear resistance. This material has the potential to significantly extend the lifespan of products used in wearable electronics, soft robotics, and medical applications.
Scientists have developed a new silk-based material that boasts strength comparable to Kevlar and can polarize terahertz radiation. The technology is simple and suitable for industrial applications, opening up possibilities for use in 6G networks and protective coatings.
