Rapid-fire photography reveals how even a nanoscale amount of surface roughness can unleash microbubbles that may interfere with coating technology.

Covalent organic crystal networks generate high-selectivity and high-flux membranes for organic solvent filtration.

Small tweaks in component ratios generate electronically different layers from the same material to create transparent transistors.

KAUST Distinguished Professors Yves Gnanou and Nikolaos Hadjichristidis and their fellow researchers developed the first metal-free process for making aliphatic degradable polycarbonates using CO₂. The metal-free aliphatic polycarbonate is transparent and highly flexible.

The catalyst’s reactivity is not centered on the metal ion (silver sphere), but on one of the side arms of the pincer ligand (blue sphere).

Associate Professor Osman Bakr recently received the King Prize in Saudi Arabia.
