Aurélie Hourlier‑Fargette, winner of the 2025 JPhys Materials Early Career Award, discusses the inspirations behind her interdisciplinary work on bubble assemblies and foam-based materials ...

Although some people may like a good frothy head on their beer, the foaming of liquids is considered problematic in many fields. A new MIT-designed material could help, as it keeps such foam from ...

That doesn’t make the effort futile. It places it in context. Bio-based foams represent one strategy among many: redesign packaging, reduce unnecessary cushioning, regulate the worst offenders, and ...

Researchers demonstrate that foam may be a superior fluid to displace and extract tough-to-reach oil. In tests, foam pumped into an experimental rig that mimicked the flow paths deep underground ...
