Why Do Scorpions Glow Under UV Light?
Scientists in Japan have found that scorpions make a fluorescent compound to protect themselves from parasites.
A Molecular Sieve for Carbon Dioxide
An international team of researchers has developed a type of polymer that specifically traps carbon dioxide, which can then be converted into other organic compounds for use by industry.
Polymers Make Pigment-Free Printing Possible
By exposing polymers to stress, scientists in Japan have developed a colour palette for printing which does not involve the use of pigments.
Observing The Dance Of Crystal Lattices
Scientists have used atomic force microscopy to observe the dynamic changes that occur on the surfaces of shape-shifting structures called porous coordination polymers.
