Small tweaks in component ratios generate electronically different layers from the same material to create transparent transistors.

A membrane made of porous carbon-fiber structures grown on a porous ceramic substrate is more efficient than similar existing membranes at filtering seawater.

A novel imaging method makes it possible to capture object deformation in three dimensions over time with unprecedented accuracy.

Spray coating and inkjet-based electronics manufacture are among the industrial applications in which liquid droplets are applied to a surface. But minuscule air bubbles that get trapped beneath the droplet as it lands can affect the coating’s quality and uniformity.
