(CN) — Scientists in China have developed a biodegradable foam that they say can remove up to 99.9% of microplastics from water, a major breakthrough in an effort to combat a pervasive environmental ...

Ceramic foams made from a wide range of ceramic materials, both oxide and nonoxide, are being considered for a whole range of potential applications. These include hot gas filters, interpenetrating ...

Metal foams are durable, and their small pores and large surface areas suggest they could effectively filter out microbes. Researchers have transformed copper nanowires into metal foams that could be ...

Even engineers in the know who appreciate foam for its wide range of characteristics and capabilities are often unaware how versatile it can be and how best to use it. And if you don’t know much about ...
