TLDR
The design of such a filigrane network requires the very careful control of chemical parameters and the reward is an assortment of different property profiles owing to the richness of possible variations.Abstract:
Air, air, air… and some solid skeleton; this is the basis for an interesting class of materials-the aerogels (shown schematically on the right). Can one therefore speak of "simple" chemistry? The design of such a filigrane network requires the very careful control of chemical parameters. The reward is an assortment of different property profiles owing to the richness of possible variations.read more

Catalytic Nanoarchitectures--the Importance of Nothing and the Unimportance of Periodicity
TL;DR: New opportunities for improved performance arise when the multifunctionality inherent in catalytic processes, including molecular transport of reactants and products, is rethought in light of architectures designed and fabricated from the appropriate nanoscale building blocks.

A Versatile, Ultralight, Nitrogen‐Doped Graphene Framework
TL;DR: Graphene lite: a density of (2.1 ± 0.3) mg cm(-3), the lowest to date for a graphene framework architecture, is achieved by preparing an ultralight, N-doped, 3D graphene framework.
