Octopuses are the undisputed kings of camouflage. Whereas engineers have learned to mimic the colors, octopuses also match ...

A group of scientists from Ohio State University developed a new shape-changing polymer that has the potential to revolutionize the construction of soft materials. The study was recently published in ...

Soft polymer-based electrolytes are emerging as safer, more flexible alternatives to liquid electrolytes in rechargeable batteries, particularly lithium-ion and lithium-metal systems. They come in ...

Researchers' new polymer strategy shifts a centuries-old engineering paradigm with a molecular design that doesn't sacrifice stretchability for stiffness. Researchers at the University of Virginia ...
