A research group has developed SPACIER, an advanced polymer material design tool that integrates machine learning with molecular simulations. As a proof of concept, the group successfully synthesized ...

Single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) is a powerful technique used to study the mechanical properties of polymers at the molecular level. This method allows researchers to apply forces to ...

Latha Venkataraman and colleagues start by breaking a gold wire in a solution containing the molecules to form metal–molecule–metal junctions. The first challenge in such experiments is to ...
