A surface displays structural colors when light is reflected by tiny, regular structural elements in a transparent material. Researchers have now developed a method to make structural colors from ...

When it comes to plant-based materials, many people may picture something that's "green" but not very robust. Such is not the case with a new MIT-designed composite, however, which is claimed to be as ...

When manufacturing cellulose-based products, challenges, such as the high melting point of cellulose, make it impossible for it to be melted without decomposition. Thus, shaping cellulose materials ...

Today's lithium batteries commonly use a liquid electrolyte to carry ions between the two electrodes, but scientists eyeing solid alternatives see some exciting opportunities ahead. Among them are the ...

The Methyl Cellulose Market size is valued at USD 3.64 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 5.88 billion by 2030, at ...

A microscopic image of the newly developed fibers showing their side-by-side mix where one side is cotton and the other contains the polyanaline polymer that can carry an electric current. PULLMAN, ...

Structural colors are a way to colorize a material without using a dye. Instead, the transparent material generates color through the regular arrangement of its molecules or other elements, as seen, ...
