Researchers have developed a new, loofah-like material that is fine enough to filter out viruses and bacteria from water, but strong enough to be used as a rigid construction material in devices.

The new polymer achieves impressive stiffness, up to 11 gigapascals, despite its low density of only 0.5 grams per cubic ...

Porous materials have a wide range of applications due to their capacity to act as filters, or lightweight structural ...
