"Breakthrough: Scientists Unveil Revolutionary Material Stronger than Steel, Lighter than Aluminum"

Scientists have developed a new material called Galvorn, which is stronger than steel, lighter than aluminum, and has the conductivity of copper. The material, inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings," has the potential to revolutionize the green tech landscape by replacing rare and expensive metals like copper in electronics. Galvorn, made through a high-tech process that splits hydrocarbons, can be used in various forms such as tape, yarn, thread, or mesh. Its applications include lighter and faster vehicles, wind-turbine blades, improved battery conductivity, and strengthening buildings and infrastructure. DexMat, the company behind Galvorn, aims to make carbon-heavy resources like copper obsolete and contribute to cleaner air and the advancement of green technology.

Revolutionary Material Boosts Face Mask Efficiency by Capturing Coronavirus Particles

Researchers at the University of Liverpool have developed a new material that captures coronavirus particles, potentially revolutionizing the efficiency of face masks and other filter equipment. The material, which has been shown to be approximately 93% more efficient at capturing proteins, including coronavirus proteins, while maintaining breathability, could be used in a wide range of applications beyond the pandemic. The team has also developed a method to attach the material to conventional face masks and is exploring its potential for capturing other bioaerosols and deadly viruses.
