Home > Press > Smart materials: metal cations-recognizable thermoresponsive polymers: Osaka Metropolitan University scientists developed a novel polymer, the thermoresponsiveness of which can easily be regulated by changing the type and mixing ratio of ionic species The novel thermoresponsive polymer was created by adding ions to polymers and aqueous solutions....

Oct 15, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Imagine being able to morph your legs into flippers before you jump in the water. Yale researchers have created a robot that accomplishes this feat through a process they dubbed “adaptive morphogenesis.” The project is described in Nature ("Multi-environment robotic transitions through adaptive morphogenesis"). The...

Oct 15, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Researchers have found that the irregular movement of lithium ions in next-generation battery materials could be reducing their capacity and hindering their performance. The team, led by the University of Cambridge, tracked the movement of lithium ions inside a promising new battery material in real...
