At a potluck, you ate the best chocolate chip cookie—golden-brown, thick and chewy. Unfortunately, you don't know who made the cookie to get the recipe from, so you decide to recreate it. Using ...

The researchers published their findings in Nature Communications ("Stöber method to amorphous metal-organic frameworks and coordination polymers"). The Stöber method, traditionally used for creating ...

Chemists grew the longest conductive polymer chains ever made on a surface, nearly one micrometer long, using a clean process that enables precise nanoribbons.

Microporous organic polymers (MOPs) are composed entirely of covalently linked organic molecules. These materials are characterized by their high surface areas, permanent microporosity, and structural ...

Polymers can be thought of like trains: Just as a train is composed of multiple cars, polymers are made up of multiple monomers, and the couplings between the train cars are similar to the chemical ...
