Emeritus Karl Frederick Freed, whose mathematical rigor provided the scaffolding for modern molecular theory, died Jan. 11 at ...

Polymers are fundamental to our daily lives, serving as the core components for a wide array of goods, including clothing, packaging, transportation infrastructure, construction materials, and ...

Researchers at the University of Vienna have uncovered a surprising phenomenon: polymer chains with segments that simply ...

The polymer solar cell is able to retain 97% of its performance after 2,000 hours in air. By blending small-molecule acceptors into polymeric matrices, the research team improved molecular packing, ...

A tiny burst of motion inside a molecule may be enough to shove an electron across a solar material almost as fast as nature permits. That is the striking result from a University of Cambridge-led ...

Imagine a microscopic locomotive moving back and forth along a track, propelling itself without any external force. At the molecular level, this concept forms the foundation of molecular motors -- ...

Beyond Anticancer Therapeutics: Polymer–Drug Conjugates for the Treatment of Diseases other than Cancer In the last decade, the field of polymer–drug conjugates has expanded towards novel therapeutic ...

A soft polymer that hardens on impact uses force-activated molecules to rewire its own structure, achieving record stiffness and 97% force reduction.

Researchers in China have developed a new type of polymer solar cells that deliver ...

Mimicking the incredible skill of mother nature is never easy, especially when trying to match the remarkable chemical processes that take place in living organisms. Living systems, like cells, can ...
