A new green supercapacitor is flexible, lightweight, and cost-effective. It could charge your devices way faster, too, researchers say.

A new technology lets researchers use metal to create nature-inspired surfaces with unique powers, including rose petals' water-repelling ability.

More companies are selling products that claim to keep you cool on hot days. But it turns out that common materials used in sports clothing may not always be the best.

New 3D-printable synthetic polymers have morphing powers and can self-heal within seconds. They could be useful for more realistic prosthetics.

"Think of SMILES like a light bulb, but instead of being turned on with electricity, they are turned on with light..."

The snake, bird and cat, from Swansea University's collection, are at least 2,000 years old.

Observations let researchers "see" when and how three individual water molecules left a crystalline sponge as it dried out.

Titanium dioxide crystals that "blink" may benefit quantum computers or the creation of fuels from carbon dioxide, say researchers.

With a bit of voltage, researchers have shown they can turn droplets of liquid metal into streams the diameter of a human hair.

A method to make plastic conductive and more transparent could improve large touchscreens, LED light panels, and window-mounted infrared solar cells.
