Researchers unveiled a super-strong nanoscale material made from the first two-dimensional mechanically interlocked polymers.

In a remarkable feat of chemistry, a Northwestern University-led research team has developed the first two-dimensional (2D) ...

Imagine armor as light as fabric yet stronger than steel, built from materials that link together like molecular chainmail.

Dichtel envisions his group's new polymer might have a future as a specialty material for light-weight body armor and ballistic fabrics. "We have a lot more analysis to do, but we can tell that it ...

From powering batteries with waste to shaping the future of armor, Northwestern researchers have been busy. The Daily ...
