Researchers developed a photocrosslinked PLCL-PEG-PLCL elastomer containing 2 wt% graphene that elongated by 163% before breaking and heated from 24.2 °C to 50.6 °C within 60 seconds under near-infrared light. The study also showed that network composition influenced elasticity, hydrolytic degradation, and structural failure, suggesting potential uses in flexible and wearable materials.

What can the chemistry of a microscopic feature reveal about the history of a rock, or the origins of planetary materials?
Omniseal Solutions, a global leader in precision sealing and wear and friction control solutions for over 65 years, announces that its Kontich site has been certified to ISO 19443:2018 for Important To Nuclear Safety (ITNS) activities, which covers the design and manufacture of high-performance seals, bearings, wear technology and specialty products, as well as technical advice in sealing technology.
Researchers used thermal treatment or laser processing to tune polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber mats into separate thermoresistive temperature and piezoresistive pressure-sensing elements for flexible monitoring in high-temperature environments. The platform measured temperatures from 25 to 300 °C and pressures from 0 to 480 kPa, while combined loading above roughly 180 °C and 150 kPa exposed a structural limit.

DELO introduces DELO PHOTOBOND PS4140, the world’s first liquid tape for gas diffusion layer fixation in fuel cells.
Your shiny new smartphone and laptop can multitask between video calls, superfast searches, and detailed data crunching because of small, powerful microchips - the digital brains behind every computer's brawn.
Researchers found that selective deashing of Taixi anthracite alters the residual mineral profile prior to KOH activation, yielding porous carbons with distinct pore structures, surface chemistries, adsorption behavior, and electrochemical performance. HCl, NaOH, combined treatment, and no pretreatment each favored different properties, showing that precursor treatment can be used to tailor coal-derived porous carbon for specific applications.

Metrohm USA has launched the IONIC Titrator, a new generation of standalone titration that combines intuitive operation, direct cloud connectivity, and Metrohm's trusted analytical performance in a flexible, modern platform.
Biodegradable films made from engineered honeybee silk could form the basis of a new generation of ‘smart’ wound dressings, according to CSIRO and Adelaide University researchers.
Researchers engineered high-purity, (111)-oriented diamond with controlled carbon-13 and low nitrogen, then used 50 Hz noise mitigation and CPMG dynamical decoupling to extend a single NV-center electron spin’s coherence to 11.2(8) seconds while retaining a near-lifetime-limited optical linewidth of 16.9(4) MHz. The study shows that long spin coherence and coherent optical transitions can coexist in diamond, with implications for quantum-network nodes and sensing.
