Eleftheria Roumeli, a materials science and engineering associate professor, highlighted three challenges in the use of plastics that contribute to the urgent need for sustainable materials: excessive ...

Polymer-based adhesives are essential for bonding lightweight materials used in transportation; however, how individual polymer chains behave at solid interfaces has remained unclear. In a recent ...

A recent study in Advanced Science reports an innovative, low-cost polymer heat exchanger that could transform how industries manage heat. The device was developed by a Rice University research team ...

What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

Kyushu University researchers have directly observed, for the first time, how individual polymers—chain-like molecules—behave when in contact with solid surfaces. Published in the Journal of the ...

Her work explores how new AI technology is infiltrating our lives, shaping the content we consume on social media and affecting the people behind the screens. She graduated from the University of ...

They’re tenacious, which is very good for a milk jug or a car bumper. But they don’t easily break down, which is bad for the environment. From the 1950s, when plastics were first produced in ...

Instead of just reading an explanation or looking at a static diagram, users can now engage directly with interactive visuals.

SHANGHAI, SHANGHAI, CHINA, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Do you ever wonder how the electronic devices we use ...

SHENZHEN, GUANGDONG, CHINA, March 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Modern architecture faces a persistent paradox.

Researchers developed ceramic membranes with near-defect-free surfaces that filter dyes from wastewater at tap-water pressure, cutting energy use in water treatment.

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...
