The University of Arizona men’s basketball team (19-0, 6-0 in Big 12) remained undefeated after a win at home against the University of Cincinnati (10-9, 2-4 in Big 12) on Wednesday, Jan. 21. The ...

In the not-too-distant future, a new type of plastic invented at the University of Arizona might help your car drive itself and, when you arrive at the supermarket, help you pick out a ripe tomato.

A sulfur-based polymer that can transmit light at long infrared wavelengths could enable a new class of lightweight plastic optics—as long as scientists can figure out how to reliably make it (ACS ...

video: Purdue University engineers have figured out a way to tackle plastic landfills while also improving batteries - by putting ink-free plastic soaked in sulfur-containing solvent into a microwave, ...

“Sulfur is great for things like batteries and optics, but it’s really hard to work with,” Pyun said. “No one’s developed any chemistry to work with it. It doesn’t dissolve in most things, and you can ...

Scientists at the University of Liverpool have discovered a new process to make polymers out of sulfur which could provide a way of making plastic that is less harmful to the environment. Sulfur is an ...

An international research team led by the University of Bayreuth has, for the first time, demonstrated which "building blocks" are suitable for precise plastic production involving sulphur atoms.

Researchers are making significant progress in the quest to develop new sulfur polymers that provide an environmentally friendly alternative to some traditional petrochemical based plastics.
