Generating complex transition-metal dichalcogenides (TDMCs) is essential for the future development of new generations of quantum, electronic, and energy conversion materials. But doing so is challenging. To address this challenge, scientists have come up with a process to combine different types of TMDCs to form 3D-heterostructured architectures, which is unprecedented.
Researchers have discovered how to extend the useful life of "superalloys" by thousands of hours. The discovery could improve materials performance for electrical generators and nuclear reactors.
Researchers have shown that MXene materials could remove urea from blood in wearable artificial kidney applications.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is advancing technology that could use large amounts of nanoscale materials to launch lighter rockets and spacecraft than ever before. The Super-lightweight Aerospace Composites (SAC) project seeks to scale up the manufacturing and use of high-strength carbon nanotube composite materials.
