Recycled plastics are promoted on everything from water bottles and fleece jackets to shopping bags and yogurt cups: "This ...

Cells are incredibly adept at creating complex molecules, like therapeutics, and can do so much better than many of our best factories. Synthetic biologists look to re-engineer cells to make these ...

Researchers discovered that the distance between dislocations in nanolayer interfaces of pearlite can determine how much the material can stretch or contract without breaking (ductility). The ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has developed a new method of surface engineering polymer soft-materials that has potential to accelerate ...

Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As antibiotic-resistant infections increasingly threaten public health, interest in ...

Discover how researchers are revolutionizing civil engineering with a new deep learning model that can analyze complex structural systems faster and more accurately than ever before. Learn about the ...

Two approaches provide a faster way to create enzymes and analyze their reactions, leading to the design of more complex molecules. Cells are incredibly adept at creating complex molecules, like ...
