Plastics, by and large, are well-understood materials. Not as strong as most metals, but often much lighter, these man-made polymers have found innumerable applications that have revolutionized the ...

A study describing the new material has been published in the journal Nature. MIT chemical engineers have created a new material dubbed 2DPA-1, which is stronger than steel, as light as plastic, and ...

MIT says the two-dimensional nature of the polymer gives it strength not typically associated with plastic. An MIT dean sees the new two-dimensional polymer as appropriate for “applications where high ...

Collaboration has led to the successful observation of these ultrafast electrons within conducting two-dimensional polymers. Professors Kimoon Kim and Ji Hoon Shim along with Dr. Yeonsang Lee from the ...

A face-serum staple just helped a research team build an invisible film that conducts electricity like a metal. At La Trobe University in Melbourne, the group used hyaluronic acid to guide the growth ...

MIT researchers have developed a lightweight polymer film that is nearly impenetrable to gas molecules, raising the possibility that it could be used as a protective coating to prevent solar cells and ...

2D polymers are a novel class of nanomaterials that combine the structural features of polymers with the two-dimensional geometry of graphene and other 2D materials. These polymers consist of ...

In a recent paper published in Chem, researchers from Pohang University of Science and Technology have developed conducting two-dimensional polymers with electron mobility comparable to graphene.

Science, founded by Thomas A. Edison in 1880 and published by AAAS, today ranks as the world's largest circulation general science journal. Published 51 times a year, Science is renowned for its ...
