Hoenle Adhesives is pleased to announce the launch of Vitralit® MASK E-20131, a new UV- and visible light-curable masking material designed to simplify temporary protection processes in demanding applications.
Polarons are fundamental quasiparticles in solids. (Quasiparticles are excitations that act like particles despite their complex many-body interactions with their environment.)
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the paradigm of scientific research, moving beyond simply analyzing research data to proposing experimental conditions, learning from experimental results, and designing subsequent experiments. Particularly in materials science and chemistry, where vast amounts of data are generated and analyzed, the self-driving laboratory (SDL)--which integrates materials data, AI, and experimental automation--is emerging as a promising approach to future scientific research.
Some of the most important discoveries in materials science and structural biology come down to a simple question: where, exactly, are the atoms- The arrangement of atoms determines nearly everything about how a material behaves in the real world — how strong it is, how it conducts electricity, how a battery stores energy, or how a drug binds to a cell.
Researchers directly imaged voltage-driven blistering in two-dimensional nanochannels and linked those structural changes to ionic conductance, hysteresis, and memory. Their experiments and modeling show that osmotic and electrostatic forces can drive different blister responses, helping explain why nominally similar nanofluidic devices behave differently.

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory is joining DOE's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) in a new national consortium aimed at accelerating the transition of energy storage innovations from discovery to domestic manufacturing.
A joint research team led by Dr. Eun-Ho Sohn and Dr. Ju Hyeon Kim of the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT, President Seokmin Shin) and Prof. Jin Woo Bae of the School of Energy, Materials and Chemical Engineering at the Korea University of Technology and Education (KOREATECH, President Kil-Sang Yoo) has developed self-powered fibers using a simple spray-coating process that blends two different polymers, eliminating the need for high-voltage equipment.
Scientists at Rutgers and in Estonia have used invisible light to look into tiny magnetic whirlpools, called vortices, inside a superconductor, revealing details that could help researchers develop better materials for carrying electricity.
H.E.L Group, a specialist in scientific instrumentation for chemical research, process development and safety testing, announces the ChemSCAN+, an advanced parallel reactor platform designed to provide greater flexibility and automation in catalyst screening and reaction optimization.
H.E.L Group, a specialist in scientific instrumentation for chemical research, process development and safety testing, announces the TSu+, a bench-top process safety platform combining thermal and pressure hazard screening with open-cell vent characterization to support safer chemical process development.
Researchers developed bPDMS@Fe, a self-healing silicone elastomer that adheres strongly to tissue and other surfaces, then weakens under UV light for controlled removal. In mice, a nine-channel cortical electrode using the material recorded seizure-related brain activity on days 7 and 14, while separate histology experiments tracked tissue responses through day 28.

Adelaide University quantum engineers have found a new way to improve some of the world's most sensitive sensors of electromagnetic fields, a breakthrough that could help advance brain imaging, medical diagnostics, communications technology and next-generation quantum devices.
Why does one material withstand years of stress while another fails? The answers are hidden within the microstructure, often at the atomic scale.
Today's sophisticated microchips are a wonder, designed by engineers squeezing ever-more detail onto ever-smaller chips, then built in ultraclean billion-dollar fabrication facilities. Just one speck of dust or an errant signal from a device like a cell phone can spell ruin.
Heat, sun exposure and prolonged use of air conditioning can contribute to skin dehydration during the months following summer.
