Researchers from India and Singapore report a crystalline membrane made from polyoxometalate clusters whose intrinsic openings are about 1 nanometer wide, enabling unusually sharp molecular separations that could help lower energy use in some industrial purification and water-reuse steps.
Researchers have created a new MRI antenna using metamaterials that produces sharper images of the brain and eye in less time. The device works with existing scanners and was developed by a team at the Max Delbrück Center.

An international research team has developed a device that can direct, switch and store thermal radiation without ongoing power. The breakthrough separates heat absorption from emission, overcoming a long-standing materials science limit known as reciprocity.
Researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have generated optical skyrmions using a 200-year-old optics experiment. The approach replaces complex materials with a basic laser and circular disc setup.
