Evidence date ·How could bacteria help repair concrete or build alternative materials?
Review or Meta-AnalysisKeeping bacteria active could help concrete repair small cracks. Living materials aim to reduce cement use, with costs and environmental effects still at issue.
-
Evidence date ·How computers learn to recognize dust in satellite images
PreprintA 2024 preprint reviews dust detection with satellite data and machine learning, including cloud confusion and the limits of reported performance.
-
Evidence date ·How arranging ultrathin conductive sheets shapes energy storage
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2023 review links sheet size, preparation chemistry and electrolytes to charge storage, while identifying barriers to compact, durable devices.
-
Evidence date ·Carbon that traps pollutants could work alongside tiny particles that break them down
Review or Meta-AnalysisSurface capture and chemical breakdown do different jobs. A review describes how combining them could help treatment—and what its abstract can establish.
-
Evidence date ·Pairing conducting plastic with porous scaffolds for bendable energy storage
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2022 review explains how conducting plastic and porous solids store charge, what device tests measure, and how bending trials inform flexible electronics.
-
Evidence date ·How wastewater and seawater change light-driven hydrogen production
Review or Meta-AnalysisDissolved substances can block catalysts or be consumed as electron donors. Learn why these reactions and light delivery shape a reactor’s hydrogen output.
-
Evidence date ·What biological material adds to light-driven water treatment
Review or Meta-AnalysisA synthesis of 107 studies explains pollutant-removal figures and how material preparation, concentration, and light exposure relate to treatment performance.
-
Evidence date ·Combining carbon-capturing pores with a cellulose support
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2025 review explains how porous materials and cellulose could work together to capture carbon dioxide, and what remains uncertain about practical use.
-
Evidence date ·A nearly pure silicon anode meets a sulfide solid electrolyte
PreprintTracked over timeA laboratory preprint explains why a silicon anode worked better without added carbon and what separate capacity, current and temperature tests reveal.
-
Evidence date ·X-rays reveal the uneven interior of an aluminum-doped electrolyte
PreprintTracked over timeExplore why aluminum is added to LLZO, what X-ray images reveal about domains and strain, and why the link to battery durability remains unproven.
