In a remarkable feat of chemistry, a Northwestern University-led research team has developed the first two-dimensional (2D) mechanically interlocked material. Resembling the interlocking links in ...

Researchers unveiled a super-strong nanoscale material made from the first two-dimensional mechanically interlocked polymers. The material resembles medieval chainmail at the molecular level and could ...

Chemists have invented a new material that could be the future of body armor — chainmail. But this isn't the Middle Ages all over again; the new super-strong material is made of molecules that are ...
