Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a high-performance engineered polymer that has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any thermoplastic, and has excellent heat tolerance.
While educational and orthopedic testing materials – usually cadaver specimens, wood, and animal bones – are useful, they are unsuitable for researchers today.
General plastics’ polyurethane foam plays a crucial role in ground testing the world's largest solid rocket motor for deep space exploration.
Heterostructures are structures formed by reassembling isolated atomic layers such as graphene, hBN or TMDCs, one on top of each other in a precise chosen sequence to form a complex structure which has unusual properties and potential applications.

Food adulteration is at the top of the list when it comes to food safety concerns, especially following recent incidents, such as the 2008 Chinese powdered milk scandal. That scandal involved milk and infant formula along with other food materials and components being adulterated with melamine.
Researchers have created a highly stable material that is both flexible and robust enough to withstand conformational changes and crystal metamorphisms. The material employs an inorganic based building block composed of tungsten oxide (P8W48O184), pieced together by cobalt-based linker molecules.
