Researchers improved the folding fatigue resistance of poly(phenylene sulfide) by reactively blending it with an iodine-terminated fluoroelastomer, producing a much finer phase-separated structure while retaining a high partial discharge inception voltage. The results suggest that interfacial control can help PPS withstand repeated mechanical deformation while preserving electrical insulation performance at temperatures up to 150 °C.

Fluoride enters water through natural geological processes and industrial activities, including semiconductor manufacturing, electroplating, and glass production.
Through a new Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are partnering with San Francisco Bay Area startup Diamond Quanta to advance semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S.
Researchers at the U. S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Ames National Laboratory have discovered a way to control the handedness of magnons, tiny magnetic waves that can carry information through materials.
Researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and their collaborators used lasers and neutrons to observe a long-lived quantum state in a magnetic material, opening a new way to study materials systems driven far from their equilibrium.
Understanding how materials form is critical to discovering new ones. Researchers at the U. S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Ames National Laboratory have found that a technology they originally developed for crystal growth can also help map the conditions under which materials form, providing data that may improve materials discovery efforts.
Uncountable, the AI platform for end-to-end product development, has launched an environmental monitoring capability for food, beverage, cosmetics, specialty chemicals, and other process manufacturers, as well as pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that operate classified cleanrooms.
Introducing X-Spin: a revolutionary NMR software platform that streamlines workflows, ensures data integrity, and supports compliance in modern laboratories.
Researchers developed a solar-spectrum-driven photocatalytic leaching method that uses mild organic acids and a reusable catalyst to extract critical metals from spent lithium-ion battery cathodes under simulated sunlight. The system achieved high leaching efficiencies across several cathode chemistries, while process modeling projected lower environmental impacts and competitive economics compared with conventional recycling routes.

Crystal Pharmatech, a science-driven CRO/CDMO specializing in solid-state research, preformulation studies, and formulation development and manufacturing for small-molecule drugs, today announced that installation of the ELDICO ED-1 electron diffractometer at its Suzhou, China R&D center is complete.
Researchers developed a generally room-temperature, additive-free nickel method that activates strong C-F bonds in polyfluoroarenes to form air- and moisture-stable nickel(II) diaryl complexes from commercially available starting materials. The complexes show high regioselectivity, tolerate several reactive functional groups, and respond differently to heat and light depending on their aryl and bipyridine substituents.

Researchers developed a photolithography-compatible electroforming process that co-deposits mechanically fibrillated cellulose nanofibers with carboxymethyl cellulose to create thin, free-standing microscale structures. The composite films averaged about 4.2 GPa in Young’s modulus, while a 300 nm suspended bridge resonated at 23.34 kHz under vacuum, with modeling indicating residual tensile stress from constrained drying.
