Research teams from Lanzhou University, Shandong University of Technology, University of California, Irvine, and Hanyang University have published a comprehensive review on solid polymer electrolytes ...

This polymer-based system shows that coherent quantum behavior can be designed into stable, tunable, solution-processable materials compatible with real devices. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Quantum ...

Spiropyrans are chemicals that change color when you shine light on them—a useful property in many areas of medicine and technology. Now 3mE's Georgy Filonenko (MSE) and his colleague, Richard ...

Artistic representation of a helical peptide polymer electrolyte with the macrodipole indicated by an arrow with positive and negative charges. Solid-state electrolytes have been explored for decades ...

Heat pumps are the most energy-efficient way of controlling indoor temperature. By moving heat between locations, they avoid the inefficiencies of generating heat in the first place. But that doesn’t ...

(Nanowerk News) A new 3D printing method developed by engineers at the University of California San Diego is so simple that it uses a polymer ink and salt water solution to create solid structures.

Researchers from Fujian Normal University have developed a novel dual salt-based quasi-solid polymer electrolyte for room-temperature Na-S batteries. This innovative electrolyte effectively mitigates ...

Polymer materials have become increasingly important across various industrial applications due to their distinctive physical and chemical properties. Among these, Young's modulus is a key mechanical ...
