In a recent article in Materials, US researchers investigated the impact of water-soluble polymers on the rheology and microstructure of polymer-modified geopolymer glass ceramics. The incorporation ...
The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
Light-responsive hydrogel microstructures embedded within a collagen network. The microstructure in the foreground is illuminated with a green laser, causing it to contract. The contraction remodels ...
I work on characterizing the interactions between redox-active polymers and electrolyte. This involves looking at how the polymer microstructure changes as a function of swelling and electrochemical ...
In the pursuit of higher energy density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), researchers are constantly exploring innovative solutions to enhance the performance of SiOx-based anodes. A recent article ...
Most materials have an inherent capacity to handle heat. Plastic, for instance, is typically a poor thermal conductor, whereas materials like marble move heat more efficiently. If you were to place ...
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has become a vital tool in materials science, allowing researchers and engineers to explore the intricate structure and surface features of various materials, ...
Most polymers don’t mix—and that’s the point. Polymer alloys succeed by engineering the interface: use thermodynamics to ...
