Deep insights into complex mixtures of substances, more precise conclusions about structure-property relationships, and new possibilities for quality control and process optimization: With a new ...

A lot of the modern world is dependent on often forgotten infrastructure like roads, harbors, electric lines, etc.Another critical infrastructure is water, from collection to wastewater purification ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have discovered a new class of polymers as part of the work carried out within the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1357 Microplastics. These polymers are ...

Scientists from Skoltech and the University of Potsdam have developed a physical theory that sheds light on how molecular motors organize the three-dimensional structure of the genome. Using ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have uncovered a path to design superionic polymer electrolytes for solid-state batteries and other energy applications that ...

The molecular machines that cells use to build proteins are backed by a billion years of evolution. In that time, these machines—ribosomes—have become exceptionally good at forging amide bonds between ...

The polymers around us are basically a disordered mess, with long chains of atoms tangled around each other. But starting around 1990, chemists began developing techniques that allow us to build ...

The Government of Canada recognizes that new tools and information continue to be generated that could help inform the identification of additional substances of potential concern for human health or ...

Electric cars are no longer the head turners they were just a few years ago. People are getting accustomed to the sight of them. Globally, drivers registered 14 million electric cars—battery electric ...

Plastic that conducts electricity might sound impossible. But there is a special class of materials known as “electronic polymers” that combines the flexibility of plastic with the functionality of ...
