According to lab studies, a breakthrough aqueous lubricant technology intended to treat people with dry mouths is up to five times more effective than currently available commercial products.

Researchers have devised a method to dismantle the blend of traditional and bio-based plastics typically arriving at recycling centers.

Actuators, akin to the muscles in the human body or the vibrators in mobile phones, are crucial components in machinery, converting energy into motion. The perfect actuator material necessitates commendable electrochemical properties to consistently conduct electrical currents composed of flowing electrons.

Northwestern University researchers have once again elevated the benchmarks for perovskite solar cells, achieving new efficiency records through a groundbreaking development in the emerging technology.

There was a widespread belief in the invincibility against bacterial diseases, all thanks to antibiotics. Despite the easy availability of antibiotic treatments, countless lives are lost to invisible pathogens. The challenge of creating drugs capable of fighting resistant bacterial strains has not kept up with the rapid spread of resistance.

3D printing is continuously evolving, and the materials that can be employed have grown significantly. While the technology was previously restricted to fast-curing plastics, it is now also suited for slow-curing plastics.

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.

A novel self-assembling nanosheet, created by a team at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), has the potential to significantly extend the shelf life of consumer products.

A team at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has generated projections for the expansion of renewable energy at the local level.

The 21st century has witnessed a substantial increase in the worldwide need for cooling energy.
