Compositionally asymmetric diblock copolymers provide an attractive platform for understanding the emergence of tetragonally close-packed, Frank–Kasper phases in soft matter. Block-polymer phase ...

Short cycle times and automated methods are key to meeting the high production rates being sought for the next generation of narrowbody commercial aircraft, advanced air mobility (AAM), unmanned ...

Using mechanical force, rather than light or heat, to transform molecules from one form to another has gained traction in the past decade, creating the field of polymer mechanochemistry. Stanford ...

Ryan Hayward's self-folding crane begins as a flat, trilayer sheet. The middle pNIPAM hydrogel layer swells as the water around it is heated, and the folding is guided by slits patterned into the more ...

Experiments and modeling reveal the unexpected structure that can be seen in bacteria grown in mucus samples and biofilms. Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that bacterial ...

CHICAGO — A diode measuring just 2.5 nanometers was recently demonstrated by University of Chicago professor Luping Yu, who called it the world's smallest. The operation of the polymer-based p-n ...

New research that seeks to establish points of reference between plasmonic particles and polymers might lead to smaller computer chips, better antennae and improvements in optical computing. Materials ...

Researchers have found that maleic-anhydride-based polymers can stifle the growth of several disease-causing bacteria, including one that forms biofilms on medical devices 1. These polymers could ...
