Researchers have developed a molecule that, when added to a polymer, increases the material’s durability by making it more like metal in terms of its ability to withstand temperature fluctuations.

Molecules that act as connected wheels can hold long molecular chains together to modify the properties of soft polymers. Molecules that act as connected wheels can hold long molecular chains together ...

Fast-scanning atomic force microscopy imaging of the molecule at two different time points shows positional shifts along the polymer chain on the left. On the right, the molecular structure of PEG ...

For more than two decades, the Ihara research group has been focusing on the development of new methods for polymer syntheses ...

Polymers can be thought of like trains: Just as a train is composed of multiple cars, polymers are made up of multiple monomers, and the couplings between the train cars are similar to the chemical ...

Mimicking the incredible skill of mother nature is never easy, especially when trying to match the remarkable chemical processes that take place in living organisms. Living systems, like cells, can ...

University of Texas at Austin researchers have developed a new method to encode information in synthetic molecules. Molecules like DNA can store large amounts of data without requiring an energy ...

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a spray-on polymer coating that could help plants resist ...

Fluid dynamics is the branch of physics concerning fluid flow. It is distinguishable from other disciplines in fluid mechanics as it deals with fluids in motion. In physics, a fluid is a substance ...
