See how an autonomous robot created a shock-absorbing shape no human ever could -- and what it means for designing safer helmets, packaging, car bumpers, and more.

A research team led by chemists from the University of Liège has devised a novel polyurethane production technology that uses CO2 to produce new types of easily recyclable plastics.

According to experts who tested a novel approach they hope to replace energy-intensive chemical engineering procedures dating back to the early twentieth century, liquid metals could be the long-awaited panacea for “greening” the chemical industry.

Advanced packaging has been the center of focus in recent years as the world is shifting towards sustainable practices and environmental preservation.

This article explores how the attainable spatial resolution of FTIR microscopes can be determined via the optical design as well as the infrared performance of infrared microscopes.

This article explores the utilization of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy in food production methods by assessing the effectiveness of two packaging types for preserving ground pork meat from lipid oxidation.

Intelligent devices and sensors connected in a network have the potential to enhance the energy efficiency of both consumer products and buildings by continuously monitoring their energy consumption.

Superabsorbers can be found in diapers as well as in a number of other hygiene and medical products, such as bandages and dressing materials.

In groundbreaking research, scientists have developed an innovative material that has the ability to emit light upon exposure to mechanical pressure or touch. This achievement hinges on the incorporation of dinoflagellates, microscopic aquatic organisms, into a hydrogel matrix. This breakthrough represents a significant advancement in the development of materials that respond with exceptional precision to tactile or mechanical interactions.

A group of researchers worked together to modify light’s behavior as though it were under the effect of gravity.
