Born in Brooklyn in 1942, Freed’s scientific trajectory began early; he and his brother Jack, who himself would go on to ...

Researchers at the University of Vienna have uncovered a surprising phenomenon: polymer chains with segments that simply ...

Polymer-based adhesives are essential for bonding lightweight materials used in transportation; however, how individual polymer chains behave at solid interfaces has remained unclear. In a recent ...

Kyushu University researchers have directly observed, for the first time, how individual polymers—chain-like molecules—behave when in contact with solid surfaces. Published in the Journal of the ...

Nitash Balsara, an Indian American scientist from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ...

Despite its playful origin, Boise State researchers have taken this concept to the next level with “electronic tattoos” that ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have discovered that molecular vibrations can act like a catapult, flinging ...

Kyushu University researchers have directly observed, for the first time, how individual polymers—chain-like molecules—behave when in ...

A gel held together entirely by interlocking DNA rings exhibits mechanical properties unlike any conventional gel, driven purely by topology.

When most people hear "polymer," they think of plastics. In our group, polymerization is a way to line up identical molecules like beads on a string and let quantum mechanics take over. Put magnetic ...

Sunlight can be used to convert polystyrene waste and excess sulfur into valuable organic products. The team that created the new process hopes that it could be a way to tackle the millions of tonnes ...

Electrons can be "kicked across" solar materials at almost the fastest speed nature allows, scientists have discovered, challenging long-held theories about how solar energy systems work. The finding ...
