Science has long taken inspiration from the natural world, and few natural designs are as iconic as the helical shape that ...

Synthetic materials rarely mimic the dynamic helicity observed in biological systems like DNA and proteins, often forming ...

Scientists from Skoltech and the University of Potsdam have developed a physical theory that sheds light on how molecular ...

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, ...

Scientists solve a long-standing block copolymer research conundrum through polymer chain end modifications. The study garners substantial academic attention by achieving tangible manifestations of ...

Polymers, large molecules made up of repeating smaller molecules called monomers, are found in nearly everything we use in our day-to-day lives. Polymers can be natural or created synthetically.

Researchers have announced two major polymer science advances: a self-assembling polymer system that improves gene delivery safety and efficiency, and a chlorophyll-based supramolecular polymer that ...

Ultramicrotome Sectioning enables precise preparation of polymer samples using room temperature and cryo techniques for ...

Researchers have developed and demonstrated an efficient and scalable technique that allows them to manufacture soft polymer materials in a dozen different structures, or 'morphologies,' from ribbons ...

It has been polymer engineering dogma for a couple of hundred years that the stiffer the material the less it can be stretched. Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and ...
