A new polymer removes biofilms—mats of microbes and their exuded substances—by mimicking a fluid oozed by barnacles (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2024, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c09311). The material could provide a ...
Researchers create 'living' polymers that grow, degrow, and reprogram their properties after fabrication using reversible chemistry and light-activated catalysts. (Nanowerk Spotlight) A salamander can ...
Entropy gets a bad rap. Typically associated with randomness and chaos, it can also correlate with freedom and diversity.
Illinois professor Ying Diao led a multi-institutional study that positions synthetic polymers as a potential alternative to expensive, unsustainable minerals for use in semiconductors and other ...
A research team has succeeded in synthesizing simple, environmentally sensitive cells complete with artificial organelles. For the first time, the researchers have also been able to emulate natural ...
Researchers' new polymer strategy shifts a centuries-old engineering paradigm with a molecular design that doesn't sacrifice stretchability for stiffness. Researchers at the University of Virginia ...
Over the past decade, neural technology has progressed at an extraordinary pace. However, despite the advent of flexible polymers and miniaturized CMOS ...
The sources of natural polymers can be plant-based, animal-based, and marine-derived. For instance, plant-based polymers like cellulose are widely used in paper and textile industries for their ...
