Subsequently, they mixed the kidney-derived dECM with a chemical cross-linker, successfully forming a porous sponge material termed "cryogel." The team's gel exhibited a highly porous architecture ...

Clean water is important for the health and well-being of people around the globe. Researchers develop revolutionary sponge ...

Nanosponges are highly porous nanostructured materials with a sponge-like morphology. They are typically composed of a three-dimensional network of interconnected nanopores, which gives them a large ...

Soaking up pollutants like a sponge, porous organic polymers (POPs) may be the key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, according to researchers.

Her farm is a network of ropes suspended between floating buoys, each dotted with porous sponges that sway gently with the currents. Every sponge must be cleaned, monitored, and protected against ...
