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 ...

Compositionally asymmetric diblock copolymers provide an attractive platform for understanding the emergence of tetragonally close-packed, Frank–Kasper phases in soft matter. Block-polymer phase ...

Using mechanical force, rather than light or heat, to transform molecules from one form to another has gained traction in the past decade, creating the field of polymer mechanochemistry. Stanford ...

Researchers have found that maleic-anhydride-based polymers can stifle the growth of several disease-causing bacteria, including one that forms biofilms on medical devices 1. These polymers could ...

New research that seeks to establish points of reference between plasmonic particles and polymers might lead to smaller computer chips, better antennae and improvements in optical computing. Materials ...

CHICAGO — A diode measuring just 2.5 nanometers was recently demonstrated by University of Chicago professor Luping Yu, who called it the world's smallest. The operation of the polymer-based p-n ...

Proteins are information-rich polymers that fold hierarchically into precise three-dimensional functional structures encoded by a specific monomer sequence. Despite ongoing advances, it is still a ...
