EPFL researchers have developed a filter "paper" made from titanium oxide nanowires which is capable of trapping pathogens and destroying them with light

Recent study investigates the fundamental chemistry underlying solvent extraction

Technology aims to improve quality of products used in business, industry, and at home

Inspired by a coral polyp, this plastic mini robot moves by magnetism and light

The complex structure of self-assembled links looks like the five Olympic Rings and may become the source of new polymeric materials

The new invention, created by University of Vermont scientists,  can catch and straighten out molecule-sized tangles of polymers

The sensors, printed with high-resolution aerosol jet printers on a flexible polymer film, can detect histamine down to 3.41 parts per million

Despite a growing interest in polymer-based neuromorphic devices, researchers have yet to establish an effective method for controlling the response speed of devices

Unlike other materials that try to emulate nature's color changers, this one can respond to any type of movement, like bending or twisting
