Cellulose is by far the most common biopolymer on the planet, and it is well known for its renewable, biocompatible, and biodegradable nature. Cellulose is a type of linear polysaccharide (β (1−4) ...

Using a thermal sensor smaller than a grain of sand, engineers have measured the vibrations, or phonons, within individual molecules. (Nanowerk News) Imagine you are playing the guitar—each pluck of a ...

In a recent article published in Molecules, researchers evaluated the synergistic effect of Aluminum Nitride (AlN) and Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) on the properties of Silicon Rubber (SR) composites. The ...

Imagine you are playing the guitar—each pluck of a string creates a sound wave that vibrates and interacts with other waves. Now shrink that idea down to a small single molecule, and instead of sound ...
