DNA sequencing with nanopores has proven their power as single molecule sensors and highlighted their potential for next-generation protein sequencing. In protein nanopores, precise structural engineering through modification, reconstruction and de novo design has driven major advances, enhancing measurement accuracy and versatility and opening new frontiers in protein sequencing and sub nanometer analysis.

An RMIT innovation uses ultrasound to extract leaf protein from discarded cauliflower leaves, identifying a potential new use for vegetable scraps.

An Osaka Metropolitan University-led research team studied the wall structure of MCM-48 and the Ar adsorption process in the mesopores of MCM-48 using MEM analysis of in situ powder XRD intensities recorded during gas adsorption to show that the adsorption process can be monitored through variations in the electron density distribution. 

Engineers have been forced into a rigid compromise: build advanced structures with heavy metals that dent under pressure, or use lightweight, heat-resistant ceramics that shatter like glass the moment they are struck. Researchers have now eliminated this structural trade-off by engineering a cryogenic 3D printer that forces solid ceramics to behave like a highly durable, shock-absorbing sponge.

POSTECH-led research team develops IrFe/C electrocatalyst that self-heals after oxidation, dramatically improving durability of water electrolyzers and fuel cells.

Recently, a research team led by Professor Junbo Yang at the National University of Defense Technology has proposed a novel permittivity regulation framework based on programmable interface atomic rearrangement. They developed an Ag-In₃SbTe₂ (IST) interface atomic rearrangement metamaterial (ARM), enabling full-spectrum and time-domain dynamic modulation, as well as spatiotemporal thermal radiation tailoring. The ARM exhibits broad and continuous spectral tunability, with modulation amplitudes reaching 64.74% in the 3-5 μm band and 73.94% in the 8-14 μm band, accompanied by rich temporal variations.

The research team led by Professor Hoseok Park of the Department of Chemical Engineering of SKKU announced that they have succeeded in dramatically improving the cycle life and capacity of aqueous batteries simply by adding a small amount of a special material to the electrolyte.
