Due to their undeniably low cost, durability and processability, polymers, commonly called "plastics", have become so widely used that some predictions suggest that the global production will reach ...

Polymer nanocomposites offer chemists a powerful platform for designing materials with tunable mechanical, transport, optical, and electronic properties. However, achieving precise control over ...

Chemists use gold nanorods to transfer light energy to molecules without contact, enabling efficient, low-waste, light-driven reactions. (Nanowerk News) Scientists are exploring many ways to use light ...

Scientists are exploring many ways to use light rather than heat to drive chemical reactions more efficiently, which could significantly reduce waste, energy consumption, and reliance on nonrenewable ...
