Short cycle times and automated methods are key to meeting the high production rates being sought for the next generation of narrowbody commercial aircraft, advanced air mobility (AAM), unmanned ...

Experiments and modeling reveal the unexpected structure that can be seen in bacteria grown in mucus samples and biofilms. Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that bacterial ...

Chemists studying how life started often focus on how modern biopolymers like peptides and nucleic acids contributed, but modern biopolymers don't form easily without help from living organisms. A ...

Supramolecular polymers have emerged as an exciting class of materials over the last three decades. Their solution and bulk properties are remarkably similar to those of traditional macromolecules, ...

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 controlled/"living" click polymerization method developed by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo and Nagoya University enables precise chain-growth of AB-type monomers—traditionally ...

The piezoelectric polymers market is set to grow from USD 0.45 billion in 2025 to USD 0.64 billion by 2030, at a 7.5% CAGR. Growing demand in electronics, medical, automotive, and industrial sectors ...

A 3D rendering captured using a confocal microscope shows the development of serpentine “cables” as non-motile E. coli bacterial cells proliferate in a polymeric solution. Scientists at Caltech and ...

Chemists studying how life started often focus on biopolymers like peptides and nucleic acids, but modern biopolymers don't form easily without help from living organisms. A possible solution to this ...
