This technical brief explores why high-performance polymer piping is emerging as a strategic alternative to stainless steel, ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a way to create freeform optical components by shaping a volume of curable liquid polymer. The new method is poised to enable faster prototyping of customized ...

Liquid metal droplets fuse themselves into stretchable circuits at room temperature, driven only by surface tension gradients during solvent evaporation.

As data center operators push rack densities higher and accelerate the adoption of direct liquid cooling (DLC), the demands on cooling infrastructure are fundamentally changing. Unlike traditional air ...

Today’s lithium-ion batteries use liquid electrolytes that can catch fire if a battery overheats. Solid electrolytes made of nonflammable polymers and ceramics are safer, but their performance isn’t ...

A researcher at the University of Tsukuba develops a method for creating optically active polymers using a helical liquid crystal template, which may allow for future computer and TV displays to ...

Four more companies have joined an industry task force that the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has convened to improve the sustainability of a ubiquitous, $125 billion class of ‘forgotten’ polymers.

Forward-looking: Researchers from California and South Korea have discovered a way to use a water-soluble polymer as a new, recyclable material for 3D printing. This polymer can also be combined with ...

This computer-controlled liquid polyurethane dispenser by Max Machinery (Healdsburg, CA) can produce exactly the same polyurethane mix for each shot. Polyurethanes are used often in medical device ...
