Nanoscale polymer structures create more droplets, while heat treatment helps them leave the surface before growing large.

A humble, cheap molecule found in every pharmacy cabinet may hold one of the keys to greener, safer energy storage. In a ...

For more than half a century, materials scientists have struggled with how to simulate the complexity of polymer materials. An individual chain can comprise tens of thousands of atoms, a melt or ...

Loop extrusion is believed to dynamically fold meter-long DNA inside a micrometer-sized nucleus, yet the density of these loops has remained unknown. A central obstacle is that Hi-C contact maps ...

In this video, we explore the unutilized potential of the Chaos Physics Engine in Fortnite and how it could enhance gameplay beyond its current use on skins. We compare the new engine with the old ...
