A team of materials scientists and engineers at ETH Zurich has developed a light-triggered chemical process for breaking down ...

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 ...

Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of self-assembly of discrete molecules that are used to build large functional ...

A schematic of the DISP (deep tissue in vivo sound printing) platform developed by a team led by Caltech. The technique combines ultrasound with low-temperature–sensitive liposomes loaded with ...

Carbohydrate polymers possess the general chemical formula Cn(H2O)m, in that there are generally two hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom, though the ratio between n and m may vary, and not all ...

Established industrial systems have historically been designed to function as linear frameworks, transforming raw materials—including fossil and renewable resources—into products that become waste ...
