After years of trying to replicate the behavior, uncover its mechanism, and constrain its scope, an interdisciplinary team led by Flinders University in Australia has announced what they describe as a ...

Over the past century, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased dramatically. This rise has contributed ...

Atomic force microscopy reveals three distinct dynamic states in individual polymer chain segments on surfaces, challenging ...

G3™ Rheometer, part of the TA Instruments product line. This next-generation rheometer delivers industry-leading speed paired with best-in-class data to accelerate materials research and product ...

Researchers characterized two moisture-swing polymers for direct air capture, finding that macropore structure governs CO2 sorption capacity and kinetics.

A new reagent called SeeDB-Live uses the blood protein albumin to temporarily clear living brain tissue while preserving ...

The research team used a 'new chemical strategy' to create plastic that would degrade naturally.

Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of Houston have achieved sustained self-healing of a composite material. The findings promise to extend the lifetime of aircraft and ...

Quantum mechanical effects are known to be easily disrupted by disturbances from the surrounding environment, commonly referred to as noise. To minimize these disturbances, physicists often study ...

A cube of healthy bone is anything but solid. Inside it, countless tiny channels carry fluid and help cells move, feed, and ...

Cockroach gut microbes can rapidly degrade polystyrene, demonstrating their potential for plastic bioremediation.

Instead of treating plastic purely as waste, new research shows that it can be transformed into something useful — acetic acid, a key component of vinegar and an important industrial chemical.
