A simple burst of visible light can now create skin-safe electrodes that could transform medical and wearable electronics.

Plastic pollution is one of the greatest challenges for the modern world, due largely to the fact that most plastics are not produced with permanent recyclability in mind. The plastic water bottles, ...

For decades, glass has been a reliable workhorse of optical systems, valued for its transparency and stability. But when it comes to manipulating light at the nanoscale, especially for ...

Paleontologists hope that an amber-like material, made with living tree resin, will shed light on the prehistoric fossilization of the real stuff. By Richard Fisher Amber is coveted the world over as ...

Researchers developed a new optimized printing approach that could enable super-resolution 3D direct laser writing (DLW) of microlenses, photonics crystals, micro-optical devices, metamaterials and ...

Researchers at Harvard University have created polymer-based, cell-like structures capable of self-reproducing—one of the most fundamental characteristics of life. The system does not use any of the ...

Abstract: The lower energy storage density limits the further application of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films. In this paper, a low-temperature plasma method was used to polymerize ...

Researchers have developed a new two-photon polymerization technique that uses two lasers to 3D print complex high-resolution structures. The advance could make this 3D printing process less expensive ...

The material informatics industry has seen a growing need for advanced AI technology to streamline research processes and achieve cost-savings. Polymerize’s proprietary AI models, have been proven to ...

Smashing compounds together to get them to polymerize sounds more like desperation than effective organic chemistry. But chemists Timothy M. Swager of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Jens B.
