Researchers from the School of Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have pioneered a mechanical bond strategy to create quasi-solid-state electrolytes (QSSEs) for ...

Mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) are permanently entangled molecular architectures that have captivated the interest of chemists within the intersecting fields of supramolecular chemistry, ...

Resembling the interlocking links in chainmail, novel nanoscale material is incredibly strong and flexible. The interlocked material contains 100 trillion mechanical bonds per 1 square centimeter -- ...

Researchers at Westlake University have disclosed a two-dimensional (2D) mechanically interlocked polymer (MIP) that mimics medieval chainmail at the molecular scale. This micrometer-scale 2D material ...

Mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) not only represent non-trivial synthetic challenges that require the state of the art in structural designs and precise preparations, but also play critical ...
