In the race for lighter, safer and more efficient electronics—from electric vehicles to transcontinental energy grids—one ...

Penn State researchers have developed a new high-temperature polymer capacitor that can store four ...

Current capacitors often require dedicated cooling loops to keep them operating within a safe temperature range. If the capacitor itself can withstand the heat of an engine block or a high-voltage ...

Joshua has been playing video games for as long as he can remember. He's currently playing just about any and every new AAA story-based game. In his free time, he enjoys buying, building, painting, ...

Hundreds of millions of tons of single-use plastic ends up in landfills every year, and even the small percentage of plastic that gets recycled can’t last forever. But our group of materials ...

Supramolecular polymers have emerged as an exciting class of materials over the last three decades. Their solution and bulk properties are remarkably similar to those of traditional macromolecules, ...

Engineers at ETH Zurich have developed a versatile new material that should help in the ongoing battle against corrosion for buildings and vehicles. The polymer coating not only protects against ...

Whenever body armor comes to mind, we expect it to be heavy and inconvenient. However, there is a lightweight variant that makes use of 2D polymer material that is stronger than steel but as flexible ...
