From boiling droplets to hydrogen storage, surface geometry matters.

A newly proposed carbon monolayer with engineered pores and lithium anchoring shows how nanoscale design can tune gas–surface interactions and molecular mobility.

Our new bibliometric analysis on electrochemical etching and deposition reveals an interesting picture: today, #deposition dominates globally — it is a key technology for supercapacitors, electrocatalysis, and biosensors:

And in Ukraine? We still have strong traditions in #etching — a legacy from the Soviet-era school. It is a valuable heritage, but it's long past time to move forward.

“The results are amazing, that a piece of wood can be as strong as glass.”

Transparent wood could soon find uses in super-strong screens for smartphones; in soft, glowing light fixtures; and even as structural features, such as color-changing windows.
