WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue 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 ...

LIQUID sulphur is well known to become highly viscous when heated above 160° C.; this viscous sulphur (like selenium) is easily supercooled. At room temperature the product resembles unvulcanized ...

“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 ...

The No. 13 University of Arizona men’s basketball team marked their second win against Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University on Monday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m. in McKale Center. This was the Wildcats’ last.

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 ...
