Chemists develop smart plastic-like materials that use light or gentle heat to activate
1+ day, 5+ hour ago (467+ words) Chemists at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have developed a "smart" polymer that could make industrial curing, 3D printing and repairs simpler, safer and more energy-efficient with materials whose properties may be tuned to match the required application. Their findings were…...
AI reveals 'invisible chemical reaction map"
3+ day, 6+ hour ago (433+ words) However, investigating and revealing the steps involved in the formation of each nanocrystal is very challenging. Previously, researchers had to estimate reaction pathways using a method similar to "inference" based on limited experimental data, which limited their ability to interpret…...
