Rice University scientists have transformed their laser-induced graphene into self-sterilizing filters that grab pathogens out of the air and kill them with small pulses of electricity. The flexible filter may be of special interest to hospitals.

Research led by University of Texas at Dallas physicists has altered the understanding of the fundamental properties of perovskite crystals, a class of materials with great potential as solar cells and light emitters. In particular, the study presents evidence questioning existing models of the behavior of perovskites on the quantum level.

Researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and The Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a nanoscale 3-D printing technique that can fabricate tiny structures 1000 times faster than conventional two-photon lithography techniques, without sacrificing resolution.

A variety of two-dimensional materials quickly degrade when exposed to oxygen and water vapor, and the protective coatings developed thus far are expensive and toxic and cannot be taken off. Now, a team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and elsewhere has developed an ultrathin coating that is inexpensive, simple to apply, and can be removed by applying certain acids.
