Conductive organic materials often derive their electronic properties from highly organized crystal structures. Now, researchers have developed an organic polymer that conducts electricity like a ...

The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the ...

Alkaline water splitting has the advantages of low cost, long lifetime and ease of maintenance, and is widely applied commercially. However, the sluggish kinetics of HER inhibits the further ...

A method for measuring the size and size probability distribution of free volume regions in polymeric materials using ultrafast infrared (IR) polarization-selective pump–probe experiments is presented ...

Polymers are a popular material for everyday objects and have many industrial applications, with their use increasing rapidly. However, for new polymers to be developed and commercialized is often a ...

The research illustrates how much scientists still have to learn about a molecule as simple as water. By Kenneth Chang Shaken and chilled — but not stirred — ordinary frozen water turns into something ...

Hydrogen is a promising clean energy carrier, but its adoption depends on cost-efficient production. Electrochemical water splitting is a key method, yet it relies on scarce and expensive noble metal ...

This series of articles is designed to help molders understand how a few analytical tools can help diagnose a part failure problem. Michael Sepe is our analyst and author. He is the technical director ...

Researchers have created a never-before-seen form of ice with a disorganized structure and a density almost exactly that of liquid water. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Scientists from UCL and the University of Cambridge have revealed that "space ice"—long thought to be completely disordered—is actually sprinkled with tiny crystals, changing our fundamental ...
