Here’s What You Need to Remember: There could be many additional applications for the process to include soldier-protective materials, fuel cells that generate power and various kinds of new ...

Here’s What You Need to Remember: “The ability to harness and adapt cellular machinery to produce non-biological polymers would, in essence, bring synthetic materials into the realm of biological ...

Materials scientists are cooking up environmentally friendly polymers from natural sources like silk, plant fibers and whole algae. Economics and acceptance remain hurdles. By Boyce Upholt / Knowable ...

Nanoparticles and polymer nanocomposites have rapidly emerged as transformative materials in the field of biomedicine. By integrating the unique optical, chemical, and physical properties of nanoscale ...

Whether natural or synthetic, polymers — large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers — exhibit complex structures and properties that make them useful in a wide range of applications.

A team of materials scientists affiliated with several institutions in Singapore and China has developed a spider-silk-inspired polymer film that may be used to connect biological tissues with an ...
