A team of scientists from Northwestern University has developed a liquid material capable of capturing energy, storing it for months, and releasing it on demand within a single system, a capacity that so far required different materials or devices. Inspired by the dynamic behaviour of the cell cytoskeleton, this new material could drive future energy storage, environmental and flexible electronic decontamination technologies, while removing meta…
