‘GAMERS’ Method Creates Unique 4-D Molecular Spectral Maps

WASHINGTON, D.C., April 18, 2017 — Researchers at Northwestern University have created a new method to extract the static and dynamic structure of complex chemical systems. In […]

The Inner Lives of Molecules

WASHINGTON, D.C., April 4, 2017 — Quantum mechanics rules. It dictates how particles and forces interact, and thus how atoms and molecules work — for example, what […]

Estimating the Glass Transition Temperature for Polymers in ‘Confined Geometries’

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 21, 2017 — Polymers are used for myriad applications today, and perhaps the most important property that dictates which polymer is chosen for a […]

Synchrotron Sheds (X-ray) Light on Carbon Chemistry at Ocean Surfaces

WASHINGTON D.C., March 7, 2017 — Nature’s carbonate system, the dynamic chemistry involving carbon dioxide (CO2), carbonate (CO32-), bicarbonate (HCO3–), and carbonic acid (H2CO3), is a vital […]

Going Glassy: Revealing Structure and Dynamics of Glassy Polymers During Transition

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 7, 2017 — Glasses are not, perhaps surprisingly, technically solid in a crystalized form, but are substances frozen in a liquidlike structure. Many fundamental […]

Exploring the Mysteries of Supercooled Water

WASHINGTON, D.C., February 28, 2017 — There are few things more central to life on earth than water. It dominates the physical landscape, covering much of the […]

Understanding ‘Glass Relaxation’ and Why It’s Important for Next-Generation Displays

WASHINGTON, D.C., February 21, 2017 — Next-generation displays will feature increased resolution and performance, but getting there will require a shift to smaller individual pixel sizes and […]

Zeroing in on the true nature of fluids within nanocapillaries

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 10, 2017 — Shrinking the investigation of objects down to the nanometer scale often reveals new properties of matter that have no equivalent for […]

New Active Filaments Mimic Biology to Transport Nano-Cargo

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 10, 2017 — Inspired by micro-scale motions of nature, a group of researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras and the Institute of […]
