WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a way to create freeform optical components by shaping a volume of curable liquid polymer. The new method is poised to enable faster prototyping of customized ...

As rack densities climb and direct liquid cooling moves into mainstream AI deployments, infrastructure decisions are becoming mission critical. Beyond cold plates and CDUs, the performance of the ...

Liquid electrolytes enable fast ion transport but can raise safety concerns, and lithium metal anodes—despite their high capacity—can grow dendrites that trigger short circuits and rapid failure.

Two nonconductive liquids produce a conductive film where they meet, enabling 3D-printed all-liquid wires that obey Ohm's law ...

A researcher at the University of Tsukuba develops a method for creating optically active polymers using a helical liquid crystal template, which may allow for future computer and TV displays to ...

Today’s lithium-ion batteries use liquid electrolytes that can catch fire if a battery overheats. Solid electrolytes made of nonflammable polymers and ceramics are safer, but their performance isn’t ...

A well-known method for making polymer materials is to blend or mix multiple polymers. For disperse blends, two liquid polymers do not mix well with each other, leading to a so-called ...

Four more companies have joined an industry task force that the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has convened to improve the sustainability of a ubiquitous, $125 billion class of ‘forgotten’ polymers.
