Polymer chain dynamics and phase transitions remain at the forefront of materials science and soft matter physics, elucidating how individual chain motions translate into macroscopic properties.

The most common method for synthesizing polymers with a carbon–carbon main chain backbone is vinyl polymerization, by which many industrially important polymers, including common plastics such as ...

Imagine a microscopic locomotive moving back and forth along a track, propelling itself without any external force. At the molecular level, this concept forms the foundation of molecular motors -- ...
