A recent study in Nature Communications explored nanoporous amorphous carbon nanopillars, produced using an innovative method that combines self-assembled polymeric carbon precursors with nanoimprint ...
MIT researchers have developed a lightweight polymer film that is nearly impenetrable to gas molecules, raising the possibility that it could be used as a protective coating to prevent solar cells and ...
MIT researchers tested the gas permeability of their new polymer films by suspending them over microwells to form bubbles. Some bubbles from 2021 experiments are still inflated. This optical ...
