Researchers have developed a new flexible material that can attenuate radar signals using tree bark waste as core raw source. The innovative material combines silicone rubber with sustainable carbon derived from tree bark, resulting in an eco-friendly alternative to traditional, high-cost technologies. Despite being made from natural waste, the new material can perform just as well as expensive nanocarbons, offering a greener and more affordable option to attenuate electromagnetic signals.

Major step forward in liver organoid technology could lead to new ways to help people living with hemophilia and other coagulation disorders while also taking another step closer to producing transplantable repair tissues for people with damaged livers.

Chemists from The University of Manchester and The Australian National University (ANU) have engineered a new type of molecule that can store information at temperatures as cold as the dark side of the moon at night, with major implications for the future of data storage technologies.  

The findings, published in Nature, could pave the way for next-generation hardware about the size of a postage stamp that can store 100 times more digital data than current technologies.
