For more than 3 million people around the world, kidney failure is a life-altering diagnosis, if not a life-threatening one. While about 17 percent of people…
In a paper in the journal Science, the researchers show that varying the spacing between twin boundaries, as opposed to maintaining consistent spacing…
While these arrangements can be easily studied in each phase individually, it is significantly harder to study how they change their arrangements from one…
Because MOFs are so versatile in both their structural design and usefulness, material scientists are currently testing them in a number of chemical…
