Engineered nanomaterials hold great promise for medicine, electronics, water treatment, and other fields. But when the materials are designed without critical information about environmental impacts at the start of the process, their long-term effects...
Lots of problems have already been solved. They just don’t always have the best solution, said Yale professor Daniel Spielman.
“By thinking about a problem, you can come up with a whole new way of solving it that might be much faster,” said Spielman, the...
