New ways to boost photoacoustic signals with carbon nanotube layers

Researchers have found a better design for carbon nanotube grids used in photoacoustic devices. These grids are made of tiny carbon tubes standing upright like a forest. The top of the forest looks tangled and messy, while the base is too dense for flexible materials to mix in properly. To fix this,

Supercharged Catalysts: The Future of Reaction Efficiency

Superwettability is a game-changer in the world of catalysts. It boosts how well catalysts work in reactions that involve multiple phases, like liquids and gases. This is because superwettability improves how reactants move around and how products leave the catalyst. The main goal of superwettabili
