Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science created a new design that seems to rewrite the polymer engineering textbook completely. It is no longer a dogma that ...

Researchers at the University of Hong Kong have discovered a series of anionic network solid electrolytes that can deliver at least a fourfold improvement in cationic transport for lithium-metal ...

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 ...
