Metal organic framework membranes that selectively separate hydrocarbons set the stage for more sustainable petrochemical processes.

Extending the lifetime of hot electrons could help make solar cells more efficient.

Polymer membranes with precisely controlled, uniform and very small pore structure could bring ion-sieving capacity to many applications.

Batteries made from earth-abundant metals show great potential for grid-scale energy storage.

A nano-scale memristor is shown to have superior stability for random number generation as an integral part of secure data transmission.
