The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is here and it’s pretty. With a hefty price tag, it deserves nothing less than the ultimate protection. Enter the Benks ArmorPro series cases, crafted from the legendary ...

Forty years after scientists discovered methods for creating mechanical molecular bonds, experts have created a mechanically interlocked 2D material that’s much stronger than Kevlar. With 100 trillion ...

With 100 trillion mechanical bonds per square centimeter, this molecular “chainmail” makes Kevlar-like materials ... them in a specific crystalline structure. After reacting these crystals ...

Kevlar derives its strength from molecular bonds in a 2D plane. But generally, the strongest materials tend to have a more complex 3D structure. For example, chainmail as a whole is much stronger than ...

Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells showe how changes in the viral polymerase -- a protein involved in ...

The international team describes their results and the underlying molecular mechanism in Cell Metabolism. Ergothioneine is a natural compound found in certain fungi such as oyster or shiitake ...

Next, they layered these sheets in a crystalline structure and coaxed the ends of all the X's to attach to each other through the introduction of a chemical ... similar to Kevlar that can resist ...

The team positioned x-shaped monomers into a crystalline structure (a specific ordered arrangement) and reacted the crystals with another molecule ... the same family as Kevlar) and 2.5% of ...
