Then Deliberately Hands It Over to Humans Subway Customer Stunned After Noticing Both ‘Recycling’ and ‘Trash’ Slots End Up in ...

Chemists at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have developed a "smart" polymer that could make industrial curing, 3D ...

Researchers at Cornell University have devised a new single-molecule microscopy method for studying polymers as they grow (Nat Chem. 2023 DOI: 10.1038/s41557-023-01363-2). “We see every monomer,” says ...

This illustration shows how X-shaped monomers are interlinked to create the first 2D mechanically interlocked polymer. Similar to chainmail, the material exhibits exceptional strength. EVANSTON, Il. - ...

Designing plastics that can be broken down easily after their use phase have often required a trade-off between stability and ...

Biological drugs such as gene therapies and messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines frequently rely on lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) coated in a layer of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to deliver medications to the ...

A new chemical process can essentially vaporize plastics that dominate the waste stream today and turn them into hydrocarbon building blocks for new plastics. The catalytic process, developed at the ...

A simple burst of visible light can now create skin-safe electrodes that could transform medical and wearable electronics.
