Wang says such enzyme-coated materials could have a wide range of uses, including self-healing materials or protective suits able to digest chemical or biological hazards.

While there are already clothing materials that help keep wearers cool simply by allowing heat to escape, an experimental new fabric coating goes a step further. Utilizing a whole bunch of ...

Layers of angled nanorods were used to make the unreflective coating Brighter LEDs and better solar cells could be developed using the least reflective coating ever made. Researchers found that ...

Strip coating materials are typically employed in optic applications for the removal of small particulates and grease from the surfaces of delicate materials. Usually these encompass laser optics, ...

“MXene materials provide one of the thinnest possible coatings — their flakes have a thickness of a few atoms — that can create a conductive surface, so we see great potential in using MXenes to treat ...
