Porous materials have a wide range of applications due to their capacity to act as filters, or lightweight structural materials that use less material than a solid substance. Researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, created a new material fine enough to filter things like viruses but is strong enough to be a rigid construction material for devices. The study is published in the journal Science.



Summary

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a novel porous material with exceptional capabilities, detailed in a study published in Science. This new material combines the fine pore size required for filtration of tiny particles like viruses with the structural strength necessary for use as a rigid construction material. This dual functionality opens possibilities for applications ranging from advanced filtration systems to lightweight, yet robust, structural components in various devices. Its ability to simultaneously filter and provide structural support differentiates it from existing porous materials.
