Scientists at Northwestern University have developed a remarkable new material that can capture energy, store it for months, use it when needed, and then reset itself for reuse. Even more surprisingly, it behaves in a way that resembles living cells. The new material could one day help store renewable energy, power chemical reactions, clean up […]
