A new grant from the National Science Foundation will allow a research team including faculty at Binghamton University, State ...

Unlike traditional air conditioning systems, this device does not require refrigerants, thereby reducing its environmental ...

In this work, multilayer co-extrusion is used to produce polymer films having up to several thousand alternating layers. The number of individual layers in the films is controlled by the number of ...

Air conditioning and refrigeration consume about 20% of global electricity, relying on century-old vapor-compression ...

A solution to injuries from slips and falls may be found underfoot—literally. The footpads of geckos have hydrophilic ...

A gecko-inspired slip-resistant polymer could be incorporated into shoe soles to prevent people slipping on ice and other ...

it was possible to prepare polymers with facile degradability under mildly acidic conditions and electrochromic properties (reversible color change with the application of voltage in a film state).

A solution to injuries from slips and falls may be found underfoot -- literally. The footpads of geckos have hydrophilic (water-loving) mechanisms that allow the little animals to easily move over ...
