Most polymers don’t mix—and that’s the point. Polymer alloys succeed by engineering the interface: use thermodynamics to predict separation, processing to sculpt morphology, and compatibilizers to ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists have trapped a single plutonium atom inside a tiny molecular cage, using only six micrograms of the radioactive metal. The work turns an element ...

Environmental pollutant analysis typically requires complex sample pretreatment steps such as filtration, separation, and ...

Lithium-ion batteries serve as the core energy storage devices in various industries and everyday products, including ...

MXenes are an emerging class of two-dimensional materials whose properties depend sensitively on the atoms bound to their surfaces. A new synthesis approach now allows researchers to control these ...

Photoionization mass spectrometry has transformed analytical chemistry, enabling complex chemical analysis and celebrating a ...
