Scientists have developed a new bio-synthetic coating for electronic components that could help merge AI with the human brain. They believe the polymer could overcome a fundamental challenge around ...

Polymer brush films consists of monomer chains grown in close proximity on a substrate. The monomers, which look like "bristles" at the nanoscale, form a highly functional and versatile coating, such ...

University of Sheffield researchers developed a machine learning framework to improve coating properties in a roll-to-roll slot die coating process. The work is seen as an initial step toward broader ...
