Unlike previous attempts at creating thermoelectric textiles, this breakthrough addresses a critical barrier that has long hampered progress: the lack of air-stable n-type polymers. These materials ...

Thermoelectrics are materials that can generate electricity from the application of a temperature gradient, or vice versa, through the thermoelectric effect. By exploiting this coupling between ...

Recently, the stretchability of ionogels has attracted considerable attention. This is attributed to its essential role in ...

E. coli bacteria could be used to create biodegradable plastics, reports a paper published in Nature Chemical Biology. The ...

Soft materials are materials that can be easily deformed by thermal stresses or thermal fluctuations at about room temperature. Soft materials include liquids, polymers, foams, gels, colloids ...
