Researchers at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering have used machine learning and 3D printing to create nano-architected materials that combine the strength of carbon steel with the lightness of Styrofoam. In a new paper, Professor Tobin Filleter’s team describes these nanomaterials, which offer exceptional strength, light weight, and customizability, potentially […]
Switching to building materials designed to store carbon dioxide could significantly advance net-zero greenhouse gas emission efforts. A new study estimates that using CO2-sequestering materials could capture up to 16.6 ± 2.8 gigatons of CO2 annually, nearly 50% of 2021’s global CO2 emissions. Reducing atmospheric CO2 and lowering emissions is crucial for slowing global warming. […]
A recent study may provide insights into the distinctive coating on leafhoppers’ skin, potentially inspiring the creation of innovative new materials. Leafhoppers, which encompass over 20,000 small insect species, are adorned with hollow, soccer ball–shaped nanoparticles composed of proteins and lipids. These nanoparticles, known as “brochosomes,” were first identified in the 1950s. They help the […]
