Say Goodbye to Steel: U.S. Scientists Create a "Superwood" That’s Stronger, Lighter, and Surprisingly Green

Scientists have turned ordinary wood into a material that rivals steel in strength and weighs far less—and it’s already heading to market. Built from natural fibers but engineered for extreme performance, this breakthrough could upend industries from construction to defense.

Ionic liquids slow perovskite degradation: Solar cells retain 90% performance at 90°C

Solar cells, devices that can generate electricity from sunlight, are already helping to reduce fossil fuel emissions in many countries worldwide. In recent years, energy engineers have been assessing the potential of materials other than silicon for the development of efficient, durable and more affordable solar cells.

Civilian and #military operators alike need spacecraft that can withstand the brutal conditions of #space 🌌. That means resistance to #radiation ☢️, to heat, to #electromagnetic pulses and to targeted disruption. Forms of technology that make #satellites more resilient will also cut costs and improve #civilian services. #Berlin plans to spend 35 billion euros 💰 on military space capabilities between now and 2030. The challenge is speed ⏱️ and #regulation https://spacenews.com/what-germany-got-right-and-wrong-in-its-first-ever-space-strategy/
