Researchers in the United Kingdom have developed a smart window that combines switchable polymer-dispersed liquid crystal ...

Holographic polymer films have emerged as a versatile platform where interference patterns are stored via photopolymerisation in photosensitive matrices. When these films are integrated with liquid ...

Two nonconductive liquids produce a conductive film where they meet, enabling 3D-printed all-liquid wires that obey Ohm's law ...

A research team from Huazhong University of Science and Technology published a study in the Chinese Journal of Polymer Science on April 10th, 2024, detailing a significant breakthrough in the ...

Researchers have developed a novel approach to three-dimensional (3D) printing they call “CLEAR,” which significantly improves the strength and durability of materials by using a combination of light ...

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 ...

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 ...
