As summer kicks into full gear and people are spending more time outside, there's one thing on many people's minds—ticks.

AFM-IR technology provides critical data on polymer compositions and properties, supporting the development of advanced ...

Lawmakers are considering allowing Delaware prisons an exemption from looming Styrofoam ban.

The International Atomic Energy Agency declared on Thursday that Iran was not complying with its nuclear nonproliferation obligations, the first time the U.N. watchdog has passed a resolution ...

ABSTRACT Polystyrene (PS), one of the most used polymers in everyday life, has a low recycling rate due to its inexpensive virgin resin. In order to make polystyrene waste (WPS) recycling advantageous ...

Polystyrene, as useful as it seemed, is a harmful substance, known to leak toxic chemicals. The foam-like structure can cause it to break into small pieces, which are easily carried away in the wind.

Scientists have created a new machine learning algorithm that can be applied to crystallography, allowing researchers to near-perfectly infer the atomic structure of nanocrystals from simple ...

A silver single-atom chain demonstrates atomic-scale strain sensing and piezoresistive effects, advancing nanotechnology and nanoscale sensing capabilities.

The algorithm was able to determine the atomic structure from nanometer-sized crystals of various shapes, including samples that had proven too difficult for previous experiments to characterize.

Abstract Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and ultrasonic force microscopy (UFM) have been used to study the properties of adsorption layers formed by two incompatible polymers, polystyrene and poly ...

Expanded polystyrene foam, the white fluffy plastic in styrofoam, was banned in food service ware on Jan. 1. But shoppers in CA say its still on the shelves.
