Turbulence, the chaotic, irregular motion that causes the bumpiness we sometimes experience on an airplane, has intrigued ...

A face-serum staple just helped a research team build an invisible film that conducts electricity like a metal. At La Trobe University in Melbourne, the group used hyaluronic acid to guide the growth ...

Scientists often seek new materials derived from polymers. Rather than starting a polymer search from scratch, they save time and money by blending existing polymers to achieve desired properties.

A new study finds four factors that may make it more likely for some people to experience successful weight loss from using GLP-1Rs such as Ozempic or Wegovy.

Why do some people have better weight loss results with Ozempic or Wegovy? Some people may experience more successful weight loss while taking GLP-1s. Scientists are trying to uncover why.

Recently, polymer waveguides fabricated on glass-epoxy substrates have emerged as a reliable solution for transmitting laser signals from external sources to photonic circuits.

The commercialization of silicon anodes requires polymer binders that are both mechanically robust and electrochemically stable in order to ensure that they can accommodate the volume expansion ...

For example, it is now possible to prepare high molecular weight polymers (molecular weight > 50000), to control the stereo-structure (tacticity) of the C-C main chain, and to quantitatively ...

Researchers from Osaka University have created a high-performance polymer that can be chemically recycled without compromising its heat and chemical resistance. The revolutionary design includes a ...

Synthesis and performance evaluation of low-molecular-weight biobased polyester rubber as a novel eco-friendly polymeric plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride ...
