It may seem intuitively obvious that the virus would thrive in fabrics and other porous materials and do poorly on non-porous surfaces like steel and glass, but the CSIRO group found just the opposite ...

Triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) porous structures: From multi-scale design, precise additive manufacturing to multidisciplinary applications ...

Odor-Resistant & Non-Porous. Tivano’s non-porous surface is a significant advantage over traditional cutting boards. Unlike wooden boards that can absorb odors and liquids, Tivano remains odor-free, ...

One such challenge is the holes in porous surfaces can get clogged with dirt and debris, a challenge noted by John Westerling, Worcester’s commissioner of parks and recreation.

Porous land such as foliage significantly lowers noise made by drones and air taxis which could reduce disturbances for urban communities as Urban Air Mobility (UAM) grows. The findings, published ...

This suggests that treating roofs of buildings, landing pads and vertiports with porous surfaces like grass or mosses will reduce noise when a drone is landing. In a statement, Dr Kamliya Jawahar from ...

“I drew inspiration from natural porous materials, such as vegetation, known for their noise-damping properties. This led to exploring engineered porous surfaces as a potential solution to reduce ...
