NASA aims to establish a permanent human presence on Earth’s moon in the 2030s. Scientists and engineers need to carefully ...

Omar Yaghi of the University of California, Berkeley, will head an initiative to apply artificial intelligence to the ...

IRVINE, Calif. — The passes were crisp. The communication on the pitch was loud. Every sprint across the pristine grass at Great Park Sports Complex seemed to carry a little more purpose Tuesday ...

What happens when a scientific problem seems too complex to solve precisely, yet understanding it could reshape how researchers design new materials and medicines? For decades, much of the polymer ...

What if polymer discovery could be accelerated with experiments, simulations, and AI continuously informing one another in a closed loop? Join Adam Gormley of Rutgers University and Plexymer, Inc. and ...

Today’s illicit chemists can quickly cook up drugs far more dangerous than fentanyl. By Jonathan Corum and Matt Richtel Illicit labs are creating new synthetic drugs at breakneck speed. Dangerous, ...

Researchers in the United Kingdom have developed a smart window that combines switchable polymer-dispersed liquid crystal with integrated PV cells, offering controllable transparency and electricity ...

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 ...

nside electrochemical devices, strong electric fields dramatically alter how water molecules behave. New research shows that these fields speed up water dissociation not by lowering energy costs, but ...

Seeing plastic trash while hiking inspired a Rutgers chemist to rethink why synthetic plastics last forever while natural polymers don’t. By mimicking tiny structural features used in DNA and proteins ...
